🍋Kitchen Favorites

From easy weeknight dinners to cozy weekend cooking, these are my go-to kitchen staples.

Non-Stick Frying Pan – perfect size for just about everything.

Stackable cooling racks _ I have very little counter space, and I love to bake. This is a lifesaver especially when I am baking multiple batches.

Pre-cut parchment sheets – I bake often and I don’t mess with tinfoil or cooking spray. It’s one less thing to wash when I’m just “over it” after baking all day.

Ninja Foodi ! – Some recipes call for a slow cooker; some call for a Dutch oven. This is does both and it’s a 3 in 1 appliance, so it takes up less cabinet space.

Cookie scoop – I use these nearly every time I bake cookies & cupcakes.

Recipe box – Because old school is cool and all too often the recipes, we find online and fall in love with disappear and we can’t replicate.

🪴Home & Organization

Keeping things organized, cozy and budget-friendly can be a struggle. These items make it a little easier on me, I hope some of them will offer inspiration for you as well.

Weekly menu planner – As mentioned in my menu planning post, I don’t plan meals strictly per day. I do, however, plan weekly favorites and shop accordingly. This has saved us so much money!

Closet storage – Life gets busy and closets get messy. I “try” to stay organized, and this helps a lot.

🏡Cozy Comforts

The coziest throw blanket – Soft & cozy!

Woven throw blanket storage basket – We have an abundance of cozy throw blankets so having a place to store them is helpful.

Warmer for scented wax melts – I must mention the word “cozy” in every blog post at least once. It’s a vibe, and I’m here for it! I’m also forgetful and afraid of house fires so… these are wonderful.

8×10 washable rug -Just got this today (Thanksgiving 2025) absolutely love the feel of this rug! it is so buttery soft, and with 3 dogs we need washable !

🧼Cleaning & Household

Sink mat – Under sink to keep things clean and dry.

All-Purpose Cleaner – Mrs. Meyers’s spray cleaner, rainwater scent.

Scrub Mommy Sponges – the only sponge I will use because it doesn’t get smelly like the other brands that hold in those yucky bacteria.
