Kitchen Essentials + Appliances I Can't Live Without
I always get asked about certain things in my kitchen like my dishes and appliances, so I wanted to put together a post linking my most requested items. They also happen to be some of my most used pieces - things that I can’t live without - so I know you’ll love them too!
Iced Coffee Glasses - These are technically beer glasses but I love using them for iced coffee, juices, and smoothies. I just love the size and the curved edge.
Glass Straws - I use these for iced coffee and smoothies when I make anything at home and you all always ask about them! Clear straws are a must so you can make sure they're clean! :) They’re also thick enough to drink smoothies from.
Bowls - I love how big these bowls are - they’re perfect for soup, cereal, rice bowls, and ice cream. The matte black is so pretty too!
Shallow Bowls - These are the best mix of a bowl and plate... maybe because I can eat on the sofa easier lol! They’re great for pastas, any sort of rice dish, salad, etc.
Flatware - I love this affordable flatware I got from World Marker! The mix of black and gold is so chic and they hold up great in the dishwasher! It appears that they are currently sold out, but I’ve found similar here!
Matcha Glasses - Okay, how freakin’ cute these?! I love using them for my morning matcha, but they are also perfect for iced coffees, cocktails and more!
Dinner Plates and Salad Plates - The square shape of these plates are super unique and match the rest of my dishes.
Mugs - I absolutely adore these mugs from Target… can you tell I like matte black?!
Wine Glasses - The straight edge of these glasses are so fun and such a cool design!
Coffee Maker - If you follow me on IGS then you know I’m obsessed with this coffee maker! It’s an investment but totally worth it if you’re a coffee lover like me. It makes coffee really fast!
Nugget Ice Maker - I recently purchased this during Amazon Prime Day and I cannot wait to try it out! It has great reviews!
Instantpot - For the days I don’t want to spend a lot of time making dinner, I pull out our Instant Pot! It cooks SO fast and there are so many tips, tricks and recipes online to help you out - which I need!
Air Fryer - I was so against getting one of these since we have an instant pot too, but I love this (and probably more than our instant pot)! It’s amazing for cooking/frying up foods quickly! One of my favorite foods to use in it is sweet potatoes, which normally take forever to cook!
Blender - If you’re a smoothie lover then you’ll love this blender! I use it weekly for not just my smoothies, but also for home-made ice cream, cocktails and more! I purchased this at the beginning of the year and I’m obsessed with it!
Always Pot and Pan - I’ve raved about this pan a ton! It replaces a bunch of pans in your cupboard, is high quality, non-stick… I could go on and on! It definitely lives up to the hype so if you’re in need of one good pan, then this is the one I’d recommend! You can use code KathleenP10 for 10% off.
Electric Kettle - This kettle is amazing for heating up water fast! I love using for my teas.
