I love carrying on traditions. Since I have been a little girl my mom & I have always baked and we still bake together so I thought I would share our favorites and most used baking supplies. This is also a way for my son & I to get quality ti...

Love my KitchenAid Stand Mixer! I have tried 4 different kind of stand mixers in my life and this one has by far been the best and my favorite.  It runs smoothly, has so many settings, so many different attachments you can get. It's also super durable (trust me mine has fallen off my counter a couple times and still works).  You've got to check out how many different colors it comes in!

Got a little baking to do or some mash potatoes to mash this is the hand mixer that does it all. I was never a fan and actually scared of hand mixers, but this one is durable, light weight and having different speeds makes it so nice.  It also has a bowl resting area, so your countertop doesn't get messy.  Fit comfortably in my hand and my husband also likes to use it for when he cooks.

I love these mixing bowls. Having a handle to hold onto when stiring something or using my hand mixer in the bowl is nice and makes mixing ingredients easy. Also having a pour spout on each bowl elimiates such a big mess.  They nest together to store away nicely and the colors are so pretty.

These are a must have! They are the only bowls I use to store food in the fridge or take to potlucks. They nest all together with the lids, so you don't have to worry about them getting separated and lost.  The lids stay nice and tight but not to the point you can't get them off. They come in so many different sizes, these bowls are great for large batters, salads, washing vegetables, or marinating food.  With them being stainless steel they will not color or hold food odors.

Got to love the multi purpose mat. I can roll out my dough or plop my cookie dough right on the baking mat, lay it on a cookie sheet and bake. Whatever I am baking doesn't stick to the mat, and is easy to clean up after baking is all done. I actuall...

I had metal muffins pans for years and then I got a silicone one and throw out my metal ones.  This silicone muffin pan is so easy to clean and it is still has a good frame so you don't have to put it on a cookie for stability.  It's dishwasher safe, won't rust, and you don't have to use cooking spray to get your goodies out.

Being able to add a filling into desserts makes them so much better and these nozzles make it so much easier to put the filling in. It's my son's favorite thing to do when we bake.

Homemade bread is the way to go. My grandma used the same kind of bread maker and she was a really good baker so why not follow in her footsteps. This bread maker is super easy to operate, and even easier to clean. I have made so much bread that I h...

I never have enough counter space to cool off my goodies so when I got these stacking cooling racks, I was super excited.  They fold down nicely and compact.  They are easy to clean, and I love that I can make different goodies and each of them will have a different rack to cool on.

This saves me from getting my hands dirty when making cookies.  Having the different sizes is great so I can make bigger cookies for adults and little cookies for the little kiddos.  The rubber handles is so nice and comfortable especially with having arthritis.

Vibrant, tasteless, makes my goodies so pretty. This food coloring set has all the main colors and some colors that are not used much, well depending on what you are making.  They are tasteless so they don't make your goodies taste nasty after dropping in the coloring.  I have bought this set a couple times and the colors that I don't use I give to other baking friends to use.
