Kitchen Favorites


I love so many things about our new kitchen!  Don't get me wrong, I still don't cook every night of the week.  It wouldn't be a normal week in my house with  pizza or make your own sandwiches as a dinner meal.   
One of my all time favorites is my Kitchen-Aid stand mixer.  My parents gave it to us as a Christmas gift and I absolutely love it.  You just throw everything in and it stirs it while you go!  It's as close to a robot making dinner as I can get!  My favorite thing to make in our mixer is home made icing. When I made it with the hand mixer, I would never beat it long enough.  Now, I can wash the dishes as it creams it for me!  And there is nothing like homemade icing!!


Of course, my Keurig is great too!  I'm the only coffee drinker so my husband got this for me for Christmas a few years ago. (Hey, I'm seeing a trend with Christmas gifts and kitchen related! Do you think there is some underlying message?)


My favorite kitchen counter cleaner is Method. It has to be the lavendar one!  I love the smell and love that it is non-toxic for my three girls!  I have to admit I find myself carrying it around with me and cleaning everything in my house with it!


One of my all time favorite things are these washcloths.  I really need to learn how to make them! My mom makes them and she always makes sure she gives me a bunch! You can tell which ones I haven't used yet because she ties bows around them! They are the best gift!  I put out a new one each night before bed and it's all ready for the counters the next morning! I've also used them to wash a baby's hand and mouth after they ate! 


We eat a lot of fruit!  I love this colander because it collapses and fits perfectly in a drawer.  It could also be hung up under the sink.  EDIT: I was wrong!  This is Food Network from Kohls.  My mom bought it for me!  I have to admit!  I love Food Network products!! 

 
Do you have any favorite kitchen products? Do they help you in the kitchen or are they just fun to look at?

  1. I love my Kitchen Aid stand mixer, too. Don't know what I'd do without it. I don't have a Keurig, but I'm curious about them.
    Loved seeing all your favorite things. Blessings!

  2. Long have I yearned for a Kitchen Aid stand mixer, but I do not cook or bake often enough to justify the expense. Keurig? Could not live without it! It is one of my most prized possessions. I am a Method girl too! Mint is my choice, and I use it in the kitchen and bathroom, on windows and glassware. I am always seeking the best wash cloths. Right now I use micro-fiber, but they make my hands feel odd. And that colander ROCKS! I have to get myself to Target.

    Thank you for sharing.

    1. Nancy, I have to try the mint Method! My local store doesn't carry it! I'll have to make that trip to Target! (Tim will be so happy.) Check my note above: the collander is from Kohls. It's Food Network brand. We now have several of their products in their kitchen and I have to tell you..I love them! Sorry I was mistaken Friday morning! Hope you had the best weekend! XO

  3. I love the Keurig! We got one for Christmas and I obsessed over it for a week before the horrible morning sickness took over my life. Can't wait to be able to enjoy it again!
