Tried & True Kitchen Favorites
Sharing my go to kitchen essentials and gadgets that I use nearly every day!
There’s nothing better than finding the right supplies in the kitchen. It makes everything easier and even more fun spending time prepping, cooking and cleaning when you have the right tools. Here are my tried and true favorites:
Geometry towels (Get 15% off with ValerieP15)
These are the BEST. I use their tea towels as my kitchen towels. I also use their Not Paper Towels as reusable napkins to cut down on my paper towel usage (pro tip: cut them in half and get more bang for your buck!) Their prints are SO cute, they are super absorbent vs a standard kitchen towel, and are sustainably made. They make bath towels and fitness towels too- we love them all and have been using for years!
Caraway baking & pan sets (shop here)
These are worth the investment. Not only gorgeous, but their items are non-toxic and nonstick. And I especially love the bakeware set— their sets come with an amazing storage system. Very minimal and chic. I also have their tea kettle which is the best quality I’ve seen. I’ve been using my Caraway pieces for years and it has held up well!
Clean Simple Eats (get 10% off with SQUAD10)
CSE’s protein powders are the tasiest around. We love the brownie batter and cake batter, but I’ve tried their sample pack and they have so many options! I especially love their cookbooks and their app. True to their name, all the recipes are clean and simple…the seasonal cookbooks are on my cookbook stand and part of my weekly meal prep menu!
Kitchenaid silicone oven mitts (shop here)
I got the cream milkshake color, and finally got rid of all the random potholders and mitts I had in my drawer. These simply wash clean and look SO pretty and protect you when in contact with hot temps!Silicone strainer (shop here)
Why did I not have this sooner?! This clips onto any pot/pan so you can strain just holding onto the pot with two hands! No extra strainer basket…just a compact clip on that you can pop in the dishwasher. It is amazing.
Mixing bowl set (shop here)
I got these in the cream color and they are so pretty. The base is silicone so it doesn’t slip, and they come with matching lids for easy storage/prep. They nest inside each other so they don’t take up much space, either.
Blates (shop here)
Are they bowls or are they plates? Either way, these are the best for serving up pasta, soup, salad, you name it.
Veggie chopper (shop here)
This gadget makes such quick work of chopping up veggies. It has a few different blades and does such great uniform dicing and cutting. Huge time saver!
Meal prep glass containers (shop here)
I recently got these to replace plastic storage we had. I prefer the glass so I can reheat items in the microwave safely and they don’t stain from food like plastic can. I love the divider in it too— perfect for prepping meals and leftovers!
