Kitchen Equipment
KitchenAidImmersion Blender
“This blender is so handy – I can blend soups and sauces right in the pot without pouring hot ingredients and getting my big blender dirty! I also use it to make my homemade heart healthy mayo.”
Escali Primo Food Scale
“I resisted weighing my baking ingredients for a long time, but I’ll tell you that my sourdough baking works so much better when I weigh instead of measure. I like this particular scale because it’s small, simple, and stays on for a long time in case I get distracted while baking.”
Bella Electric Ceramic Tea Kettle
“My husband got me this adorable little number for Christmas and I use it every morning to make tea. It’s also great for heating up water faster than my stove and making big batches of iced tea in the summer!”
Silicone Baking Mats
“These are great for baking – reduce parchment paper waste, keep your baking sheets or counters clean, and they have handy measurements right on them.”
Instant Pot Duo Crisp
“I have the older version, but I LOVE it! My kitchen is small so I need my equipment to work hard. I use my Instant Pot 1-3 times daily to make dinner, yogurt, rice, stock, and more. I really want this one because it also functions as an air fryer!”
Messermeister Oliva Elite Knives
“Everyone knows that a nice kitchen knife makes all the difference…I bought this set a year ago and I am in love. They are beautiful, stay sharp, and feel great in your hand.”
Shi Ba Zi Zuo Chinese Cleaver
“I never thought I would use a cleaver but my husband wanted one. I bought this handy little beauty and it is my favorite! This is my go-to knife – handles well, sharp, and the large flat blade makes it easy to scoop chopped food into a pot.”
KitchenAid Stand Mixer
“This is a significant investment that is worth it if you do a lot of cooking and baking at home. With the various attachments I make pasta, fruit purees, butter, and cookies, plus fresh-ground flour.“
Fitness Gear
Renoj Resistance Bands
“These booty bands are so handy for adding a little extra resistance to an exercise. Excellent for burnout exercises.”
PowerBlocks Adjustable Dumbbells
“If you’re serious about starting to lift weights but don’t have a lot of space for equipment, these compact, adjustable dumbbells are an excellent investment. We use them daily. They also come in up to 50, 70, or 90 lb expandable options.”
Extra Thick Yoga Mat with Strap
“We have a version of this mat and I love the extra cushion – it’s especially great if you have knee or back issues.”
Columbia Trail Running Shoes
“We hike a lot and these are my fave – a perfect, comfortable, waterproof option for PNW hiking and backpacking. Casual enough to wear day-to-day, durable enough for long-distance trails.”
Yes4All Medium Density Foam Roller
“Regular exercise builds tension in your muscles and fascia over time. Foam rolling is a great way to release that tension and keep muscles flexible.“
Kieba Massage Balls
“Massage balls are amazing for targeting small areas of tension – it feels incredible to stretch and massage your feet or work a knot out of your shoulder!”
