Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer
If you do any baking at all, a stand mixer is a must! KitchenAid stand mixers come in a variety of colors, and you can add lots of attachments (meat grinder, pasta maker, etc.). I use my tilt-head to mix cookie dough, make cake batter, and even use it to quickly and easily shred baked chicken for chicken salad.
6 Quart Crock Pot with Digital Timer
A working parent’s best friend! I especially love cooking weeknight dinners in my Slow Cooker on those days when our schedules after work are crazy. Add ingredients to the Crock Pot, set it, and forget it and dinner is ready when we get home! LOVE that!
Ice Cream Scoop
The ice cream scoop is an essential tool in any kitchen, allowing you to effortlessly create perfect scoops of your favorite frozen treats. Its sturdy design and ergonomic handle make it a joy to use, ensuring you can enjoy ice cream, gelato, and sorbet with ease. It’s just the thing you’ll need for endless scoops of my no-churn cookie butter ice cream.
Ninja Blender and Food Processor
With all the nifty attachments, my Ninja doubles as a blender and food processor —basically two kitchen appliances in one! It’s heavy duty and blends up smoothies, pie crust, salad dressings, and makes pesto a homemade salsa breeze!
5.5 Quart Ninja Air Fryer
The Ninja Air Fryer is a game-changer in the kitchen, delivering crispy and delicious results with less oil. We use this for warming leftovers, cooking air fryer recipes, and it’s wonderful for making frozen convenience foods as well. I have my eye on the two-basket air fryer that I hope to purchase soon.
Measuring Spoons and Cups
I must admit I have several sets of measuring spoons and cups, but this set is so nifty because it’s magnetic and stays together. No more misplacing that 1 teaspoon one you use all the time. And they fit through the top of most spice jars. It’s the little things that count!

USA Baking Sheets
These baking sheets are my most favorite pans. They season well, don’t stick, are heavy-duty, and cook and bake beautifully. I have slowly replaced all my bakeware with these. I love the cookie sheet, loaf pan, and muffin pan as well.
Here’s a link to my Amazon Shop Bake Pan List with all the USA Pans I love and use.
Pastry and Dough Board or Mat
A cloth pastry board is an indispensable tool for any baking enthusiast, providing a soft and non-slip surface for rolling out dough with precision. Its large size and convenient measurements ensure that your pastry creations turn out perfect every time. I love this cloth board and use it for pizza dough as well.
If you prefer a silicon mat, I like this one as well.
Lodge Cast Iron Skillets
The Lodge Cast Iron Skillet is a timeless kitchen essential that’s earned its place among my top favorites. Its exceptional heat retention and versatility make it perfect for searing, baking, frying, and even grilling! Cast iron skillets come in many sizes and some fun shapes for making cornbread.
Here’s a link to all my favorite cast iron pans and accessories.
Lemon Lime Squeezer – Manual Citrus Press Juicer
The citrus squeezer is a small but mighty kitchen gadget that gets a lot of use in our house. Its efficient design allows you to effortlessly extract every drop of fresh citrus juice, adding flavor to your favorite recipes and beverages!
Silicone Basting Brush
I love grabbing this handy brush for slathering oil on meats before they hit the grill, spreading delicious barbecue sauces, and even as my go-to pastry brush for whipping up scrumptious pies and scones. Plus, it’s just the right size, and the best part is- it’s a breeze to clean in the dishwasher!
Poultry Shears / Kitchen Scissors
These nifty spring-loaded poultry shears turn spatchcocking a chicken or deboning a turkey breast into a breeze! With their tapered blades designed to reach those tricky spots, these scissors effortlessly slice through bones without causing any hand strain.
I also love these multi-use kitchen scissors to keep separate from other household uses.
Cutting Boards and Spatulas
I can’t say enough good things about these cutting boards – they’re the absolute best! Plus, the fact that they’re dishwasher-safe is a total win. I find myself reaching for their silicone spatulas – they’re fantastic for whipping up speedy dips and sauces and are super handy when cooking with non-stick pans. Grab a set of both!
