Today's favorite board is all about my favorite kitchen items that I use on a regular basis. Without further ado...
I've been wanting a salt and pepper box for a while before purchasing this one from Target. I've had it for a few months now and when I walk into my kitchen it still catches my eye. There is something about salt boxes, at least for me, that scream "I'm an adult!"
2. Mixing Bowls
I put these bowls on my wedding registry and they are one of my most used items. I love these things. The non-skid bottom is awesome for holding the bowl in place while I mix. Whether I'm making pancakes on a Sunday morning or tossing some salad for dinner in the evening, these are my go to bowls.
3. Lined Journal
I like to write down recipes that I find in magazines or online. It's easier than trying to store the printed versions in a binder, and it's something I can pass down to my children one day, a little keepsake of me and some good recipes. Plus, the size of the journal means I don't have to deal with the bulk of a cookbook, which makes cooking a meal and following the recipe much easier on my tiny counter tops.
4. Silicone Spatulas
My friend Rebecca bought me one of these after she accidentally melted the tip of a crappy plastic spatula I had when she was making me an omelette on the morning of my wedding. Seriously though, girlfriend was doing me a favor. Free breakfast and one of these silicone spatulas? She's a keeper!
I love using this any chance I get. If I have to stir something while I cook or make eggs, I'm using this.
5. Quick-Stir Pitcher
I make homemade tea all the time, I love this pitcher. It has a plunger type thing (so scientific) that you pump via the handle to mix everything up. Plus, the polka dot design is eye catching. I've had this pitcher for over 8 years and I still use it everyday. Money well spent!
6. Dutch Oven
Get your giggles out now, yes I said dutch oven. I love cooking meals in this, and the turquoise blue color still makes me really happy. It's a bit pricey but it's completely worth it, I've made so many incredible meals with this pot.
7. Salad Set
I need this. Enough said.
