Kitchen appliances and tools
Ninja Coffee Bar This thing is the best coffee/espresso maker of ANY kind that I have ever had (and I’ve had a lot!!). |
Cuisinart Handheld Mixer I got my Cuisinart Handheld Mixer as a wedding gift over 15 years ago and it’s still kickin. I use is for making cookies mostly. |
|
Blendtec Total Blender with WildSide Jar I’ve been using BlendTec blender several times a day since 2007. I think it’s the best blender around. See a comparison video. |
|
Omega J8004 Juicer My new favorite! This juicer is amazing! |
|
Le Creuset Cookware Set I love this “Carribean” blue Le Creuset set. I myself have four pieces, and I’m working my way up. |
|
Stainless steel pan Toxin-leaching nonstick pans are a major no-no! I use stainless steel. |
|
Le Creuset Teapot Did you know that Le Creuset makes teapots? I got this Caribbean blue one, and I love it. |
|
Kitchen scale Baking gets more accurate with a kitchen scale. I highly recommend using one. |
|
Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker This is the ice cream machine I have always used (it comes in pretty colors!). |
|
Benriner Turner Slicer This hand-cranked spiralizer is great for turning zucchini and sweet potatoes into noodles. I think you get what you pay for with spiralizers. This one has stood the test of time for us. |
|
Springform pan I use these for all my tall layer cakes, ice cream cakes, and cheesecakes. It’s adorable. |
|
Oven Thermometer An oven thermometer is crucial for baking. Every oven I’ve had has been off in temperature, so I rely on one of these. |
|
Cuisinart Hand Blender I use my immersion blender mainly for mug cakes. 🙂 |
|
Cuisinart Food Processor I use my food processor constantly. |
|
Excalibur Dehydrator This is the smaller, less expensive Excalibur dehydrator. |
|
Nesco Dehydrator This is the dehydrator I used for 5 years before I dropped the base and broke it. I loved it so much that I bought it again. |
|
Stainless Steel Baking Sheet I avoid aluminum (which transfers to food in the oven) as much as possible. I love this stainless steel baking sheet. |
|
Silicone Spatula Set These are my favorite spatulas ever. I love that I have a sleek matching set, one of each size I need. |
|
Ice Cream Scoop / Whoopie Pie Scoop This handy scoop with a lever is perfect for ice cream, whoopie pies, and more. |
|
Cookie Dough Scoop / Size 40 Scoop A scoop like this is fantastic for making regular-sized cookies, meatballs, etc. I use it every week. |
|
Unbleached Parchment Paper for Baking We use this instead of aluminum, which transfers to food through heat in the oven. |
Containers
Glass bread loaf pan / storage dish I’ve ben using these glass bread pans for many years. They’re 8 1/2″ x 4 1/2″: the perfect size for a loaf of bread or to just store leftovers in the fridge. The glass is a nontoxic alternative to ordinary bread loaf pans! |
|
1 Gallon Cracker Jar These big jars are perfect for storing my mixes. |
|
14 ounce Ramekins I use these for custard and individual pot pie, or eating a bowl of ice cream. |
|
Italian Glass Jugs These are the best for homemade almond milk, and tea. I also use these jars for storing soup and stock. |
|
BPA-Free Freezer Tray I adore these ice cube trays. I’ve been using them for at least 6 years. I mainly freeze almond milk and pudding in them to use in smoothies and shakes. Don’t put the lids in the dishwasher and you’ll have these trays forever. |
|
BPA-Free Ice Pop Molds We use these for pudding pops and fruit pops. You can also use popsicle sticks in place of the sticks they come with if you want a more rustic look. This company Tovolo has a lot of fun ice cream and ice pop molds. Just look around their “Sweet Treats” category on their website. |
|
LifeFactory glass sippy Bottle Ginger is obsessed with her LifeFactory glass sippy bottle. It’s so much healthier than BPA-Free plastic bottles, and better for the environment. We’ve had the same one for going on 3 years now, and it’s fallen dozens of times without breaking. |
|
Nut Milk Bag Use these to strain nut meal to make nut milks—homemade still tastes better than store bought! |
|
Stainless Steel Drinking Straws Plastic drinking straws are a terrible waste, so I give my kids these stainless steel straws. We also tried these Dharma Decorative glass straws. They’re cute, but not so great for kids (they dropped and broke them). |
Optimum Health Products
Klaire Labs Probiotics We have two favorite brands of probiotics. These are the best for making yogurt. |
|
Big Berkey This is how we purify our drinking water. |
|
Red Raspberry Leaf Tea This tea is ah-mazing. I wish I had known about it when I was a teenager. I helps with PMS and cramps. Drink it throughout the month and enjoy the benefits. |
|
Rose hips tea Rose hips contain antioxidants and they are a huge source of vitamin C, which is great for fighting colds and flu. |
|
Cast iron tea pot I use this super cute tea pot for some of my favorite natural remedies |
|
Shower filter We use this to purify our shower water. |
My Favorite Clothes
Under Armour Sports Bra This is the best sports bra I’ve ever owned. It doesn’t just give me control but some lift too. Score. |
Groceries & More
Healthy Cat Food My cat ADORES this food. Because it’s expensive I mix it with canned wild caught salmon or sardines from costco. |
|
Healthy Decaf Coffee If you enjoy decaf like I do, make sure it’s decaffeinated WITHOUT chemicals, like this brand. |
|
Coffee Creamer I love this coffee creamer. You need a big spoonful, but it’s so worth it. |
