Duralex 10-Piece Nesting Bowl Set
I use these daily for prepping ingredients, food photos, and specifically baking. There’s a size for everything and they’re easy to store.

Marquette Castings 6 qt. Dutch Oven (Iron Red)
I use this constantly for soups, stews, sauces and boiling pasta noodles. It’s a more reasonable price-point than the other popular brand names, but the quality is just as good.

Cuisinart Food Processor (11-Cup)
I have an older version of this model and use it multiple times per week for sauces and dressings, energy bites, and even pastry dough. The 11-Cup size is perfect.

Delallo Instant Espresso Powder
This instant espresso powder blends seamlessly into baked goods and coffee drinks. It’s much richer than instant coffee and so versatile.

USA Bakeware Set
This high-quality set has all of the basics you need for baking. These pans won’t warp or stain and they will last for years!

Tahini
Tahini (ground sesame seeds) is one of my favorite pantry staples and I use it in several recipes on this site!

Ball Wide Mouth Pint 16-Ounce Glass Mason Jar
I use these in a million different ways! Drinking glasses, cocktails, making salad dressings, and food storage.

Maldon Sea Salt Flakes
These sea salt flakes add great texture and bring out flavor, specifically in sweeter things or avocado toast.

Nikon AF-S FX NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G Lens
This is the lens I always have on my camera for food photography.

Nikon D3400
This is the camera I use to shoot all photos on this blog (at least since 2018!).

Mrs. Meyer’s Dish Soap in Honeysuckle
My favorite dish soap that (somewhat) makes washing dishes not so annoying.

Kai Pro 8″ Chef’s Knife
I use this knife daily. Great quality for a good price and the size is extremely versatile when cooking.

Instant Pot DUO60
The instant pot has become one of my most-used kitchen items because it speeds up cooking meat, beans, grains and more.

Yeti Straw + Compatible Lid
I purchased this lid + straw to go with my 20 oz rambler since I’m always using it for cold drinks.

Yeti Rambler (20 oz) – sand
This cup is with me constantly! It’s my iced coffee cup first thing in the morning, then turns into my water cup for the rest of the day.

Ninja Blender
I use this blender multiple times per week to make smoothies, sauces & dressings, and hummus or other dips.

Ninja Hot & Cold Brewed Coffee System
This is what I use to make on-demand, single serving iced coffees!

OXO Glass Food Storage
These are my favorite food storage containers because they are sleek, don’t get dingy or stained, and are dishwasher and microwave safe!
