I absolutely HATED the pans at first. Then I found out it was user error. Now I know you have to preheat the pan until water droplets dance on the surface of the pan (or the Leidenfrost effect if you're fancy). Even since I started using them correct...
Calphalon 10-Pc Stainless Steel Cookware Set
These are great, but inexpensive knives! They are sharp and cut effortlessly.
CAROTE 12PCS Gold Titanium Kitchen Knife Set
These cutting boards hold up well! I also really like that it came with a holder so they aren't falling over in the cupboard.
3-Pack Bamboo Cutting Board Set with Non-Slip Feet
I love the versatility of this coffee machine! I'm the only one who drinks coffee in our house. I love that you can make a single cup using fresh ground coffee or a K-cup. Then, when my parents visit, I can make a whole pot.
It also has a feature for just hot water. Perfect for tea or hot chocolate.

I never thought I would need a tool specifically for avocados. BUT one day my knife missed the pit and went right through to my hand. After the trip to urgent care, I got one of these. Much, much safer!
OXO Good Grips 3-in-1 Avocado Slicer - Green
For fast boiled water, this is our go-to. It's also come in handy for those pesky boil water advisories. (if you don't know what one of these is, you're lucky!)
Mueller RapidBoil 1.8L Glass Electric Kettle
I'm not a big fan of plastic storage containers. So Pyrex is my go-to! They are durable and survive being dropped…most of the time.
Pyrex Simply Store 9-Pack Glass Food Set
Love this mixing bowl set. Multipurpose and serves its purpose.
YIHONG 7-Piece Stainless Steel Mixing Bowls with Lids
I like that the spoons and spatulas in this set are all one piece. I've had others where after use the top will fall of the handle.
Silicone Cooking Utensils Set - Heat Resistant
This is the most used appliance in our kitchen. It can bake, toast and air fry. I also like that our older kids are able to use it with confidence to make chicken nuggets and other lunch items.
Cuisinart 8-in-1 Air Fryer Convection Oven
I have a love/hate relationship with these, but mostly love. They are not only trivets but you can also used them as hot pan holders. The hate comes in when you wash them. Water gets struck in the honeycomb-like pattern and you have to hit them a few...
Joyhalo Silicone Trivets for Hot Dishes Grey
You need at least one colander. Inevitably, they will also all be dirty or in the actively running dishwasher when you need one, too!
EXCELSTEEL 5 Qt Stainless Steel Colander
This paper towel holder makes it easy to get a single sheet with one hand!
OXO Good Grips SimplyTear Paper Towel Holder
For years, we had a fruit bowl. The girls would dig through it to find the perfect apple or pear. I decided to try this and it is much better. No more bowl with fruit sitting around it because the kids found their piece and left the ones they took ou...
