When we started using Everyplate, I would prep all the meals the Monday the they came in. Everyplate sends the actual raw ingredients for each meal, so setting aside time to prep it was a must. This cutting board was a life savor. It came with several compartments to hold all the things you prepped, and it had another compartment to put your food waste in, as you where chopping through your veggies. It was well worth the cost to get this cutting board, and I can't recommend it enough.
Bamboo Cutting Board with 4 Trays & Lids
My Wife had these on here wish list, so I picked them up, and they are awesome! They have measurements on the inside and outside of the measuring cup, so you can measure your liquids or solids with ease. The smaller cups are perfect for tablespoons and what not as well. If you bake a lot, these are a must have.

We use these to make Ice Coffee, and they worked perfectly. I'm sure you can use them for ice tea as well. I've also made homemade coffee creamer as well, and used these to store it.

One day, Randomly, I decided to make apple chips. The problem is, we didn't have a dehydrator. So we got a dehydrator, and I made apple chips. I don't even like apples that much, but the smell of apples dehydrating in the dehydrator, with cinnamon over the top of them, makes the whole house smell amazing. The apple chips are tasty too. Oh and you can make other things in this too, we just never have.
Elite Gourmet EFD319 Food Dehydrator, 5 Trays
If you haven't read my pin on the food dehydrator, go do that, because then this pin will make sense. Along with not having a dehydrator to make apple chips, I needed a mandolin as well. I've watched enough Hells Kitchen and Master Chef to know that mandolins can be scary and unsafe, so I didn't really want one, but I wanted apple chips. So I settled and got this one. So far my fingers are in tact.
OXO Good Grips Handheld Mandoline Slicer,White
My mom used to have a bread maker, and bread from a bread maker just hits on a whole different level. So, one day, I was craving homemade bread, and I bought a breadmaker of my own. Before you ask, yes my wife does hate my impulse purchases at times, but then I made homemade bread with this breadmaker, and she was less angry with me. This breadmaker is easy and simple to use. You just dump in the ingrediants, set the cycle you want, and forget about it. Kinda like a dishwasher, but for bread…
Hamilton Beach Bread Maker, 12 Settings, 2 lb
Sometimes, sinks and drains get clogged. Instead of calling a plumber, get one of these things! I did have to take apart the pipes under my sink, and run this down, but I was able to unclog and fix a lot of the backed up drains in my house, saving me a ton of money in the long run.

I got one of these for work, because I work shift work, and when I'm on night shift, I try to eat healthy (at times) and not go out. This salad spinner cleans up perfectly (we don't have a dishwasher at work) and works perfectly with those salad kits you find at any grocery store.

Its Crockpot season, and this is truly the King of Crockpots. Its 6qt, and has a temperature probe, and a defrost setting.

Truly a timesaver and a game changer with our time and budget.
Hamilton Beach 6 Qt Set & Forget Slow Cooker
These are amazing for meal prep or left overs. We would often use them for leftovers the next day, or to prep a meal and take it over to my dad whom we care for. They are affordable enough that if we lose one, it's not a big deal, but they are dishwasher safe and reuseable.

At first I found cast iron really hard to take care of and use. However once you properly season it, they are fantastic for cooking almost anything. Do yourself a favor and invest in a good cast iron pan.
Lodge 10.25 Inch Cast Iron Pre-Seasoned Skillet
This thing has to be the kitchen utensil I use the most. Whether your chopping up Italian Sausage for a pasta sauce, or hamburger meat for taco night, this will do the job so much better than a spatula would.

This is a great way to wean your way off of coke. I used to drink several cokes a day, but then I switched to sparkling flavored water. This system makes it perfectly.

We got this trunk to store our throw blankets and pillows in our family room. We have three dogs (A Saint Bernard, a Husky and a Mutt), and a cat, so if blankets are left out, they are usually taken by a dog to cuddle with. Putting them away is a must, and this is a simple easy way to do so, that also fits the decor of our room.
Large Wooden Storage Trunk, Weathered Wood
My wife had this on her Wishlist, and we both love it. It's a beautiful accent light for a desk, or an entertainment stand, or a nook. What the hell is a nook anyways? Who came up with the name nook? In my house Nooks are just places where junk piles up. We should call them Jooks instead.
FuChsun Bonsai Tree Light 108 LED White Silver
We use this computer as a media hub for our family room. From here we can watch netflix, disney plus, hulu, etc. Also, it can run some low level games, like minecraft, roller coaster tycoon, roblox, etc. Also when we have telehealth appointments, it offers a nice comfortable place to get those appointments taken care off. Its a cheap functional media computer for your Family Room.

Home Office
My Boss provided us with two of these monitors for our office space, and I went and got two more of my own at home. They are that good! They are perfectly sized, and until you have had a curved screen monitor you don't know what you are missing! I can't image going back to a flat screen monitor, or going back to just a single monitor again.
Sceptre Curved 24" FHD 1080p Gaming Monitor 75Hz
When my Mom passed, we needed to digitize some photos for a funeral slide show. She was never big on taking pictures, or having pictures taken of herself, so a lot of what we had, was in an old big blue photo album, that was falling apart. I got this scanner and went to work, starting to scan everything in that album, and it was so simple and easy to do. Everything gets saved to an SD Card that is inserted directly into the scanner, so no computer is required. Growing up in the late 90's early 2000's I remember scanners being incridbily slow and hard to use. That's not the case anymore. This can and should be used for everything from old photos, to receipts, to bills. Anything you can think of, this will help you organize it.
