Hi there! Whether it’s cooking at home for your family or starting your own blog, we all need help and support some of the time – in my case, I lot of the time! I used to think that I could figure everything out on my own, but when I finally started reaching out for support and help, that’s when I really started to grow, both personally and professionally.
Here are some of the amazing resources that have made the biggest impact for me in my kitchen and in my blog. I know they can help you too!
Quick note! This post contains affiliate links, which means I earn a commission (at no extra cost to you) if you purchase from them. This commission is what helps me keep this blog afloat :). But, I also share these links because I have used the products, genuinely love them, and want you to know exactly what I used.

KITCHEN GADGETS & TOOLS

Check out the SHOP page for some of my most prized kitchen gadgets and tools! On this page you will find kitchen tools, storage solutions, kids cooking tools, and appliances that I cannot live without! Here are my top 2 Faves:

The Cuisinart Mini Food Processor is my good-to gadget in the kitchen. I use it practically everyday either in a recipe or for making snacks, such as my super simple hummus with only chickpeas, olive oil, and a little garlic.
-
Using an Olive Oil Sprayer is amazing! You can coating a pan with oil using much less and getting an even distribution without having to brush it around. Store-bough aerosols contain chemicals and toxins, but this Sonica Organics Oil Sprayer sprays out exactly what you put into it, so you can feel good about what you are putting on your food. I absolutely love this sprayer!
