The Unsung Heroes of My Kitchen

Happy Wednesday! It's hard to believe that we have been quarantining for over a month now. Being home all the time now means we are spending a lot of time in the kitchen. Cooking our own meals has given me the chance to fully appreciate all the kitchen gadgets and utensils we were gifted for our bridal shower and wedding. Today I am sharing a handful of those products with you because they are too good not to! Also, maybe you didn't know you needed one of these things ;)

Tortilla Warmer
We recently started making our own tortillas so this is perfect to keep them warm while the rest are being made! You are also able to warm your tortillas in the microwave using this.

Wilton Scoop-It Batter Spoons
I have the set that allows me to scoop out the perfect portion of either mini muffins/cupcakes and regular sized muffins/cupcakes into my baking pans. I love that this takes the guesswork out of baking because I'm not wondering how much batter is too much or too little for each cup.

KitchenMaid Mini Food Chopper
This was not an appliance I really thought I needed at first but now I am glad we registered for it! I've used this mini chopper for many things so far, such as chopping onions, making oat flour out of whole oats, and pureeing ingredients for our homemade pasta sauce. Bonus: it's also super easy to clean!

OXO Good Grips Mixing Bowls
Owning just one of these bowls would be great but having the whole set is a dream when it comes to a recipe that requires multiple bowls. The grips on the bottom and handle make these bowls easy to handle and stay in place while mixing.

Dailyware 6-in-1 Server
I haven't used this server for all it's worth yet, but I'm already obsessed with the fact that it's the cutest cake dome. I keep it displayed on my dining room table as a decoration. It's a double win when I actually have a sweet treat in it ;)

Cuisinart Hand Mixer
I'm sure there are "better" hand mixers out there, and a Kitchenaid is #goals, but I love this one due to the easy storage. The cord and attachments store perfectly in a plastic holder that easily attaches to the bottom of the mixer. This allows me to store it without worrying about losing pieces.

Grippmat Cutting Boards
Once again, I'm sure there are "better" cutting boards out there, but these serve me the best at this point. They are thin and easy to store almost anywhere. The colors allow you to assign each one a specific item to cut on it (fruits, veggies, poultry, etc.) and the grip on the bottom keeps the mat in place while cutting.

Pyrex Storage Set
Once you're done cooking and baking to your heart's content, you will need to store those leftovers (if there are any!). My go-to storage option is a glass Pyrex dish. No matter the size or shape, these dishes are perfect and well worth the investment!
