My Top Picks
Ninja Professional Plus Food Processor
This food processor does exactly what I need it to – from shredding vegetables for salads to making quick dough for thin mints, it’s reliable and powerful.
KitchenAid Stand Mixer
Probably the biggest workhorse in my kitchen is the KitchenAid mixer. This can be used for kneading bread, mixing up baked goods, making pasta with this attachment, and much more.
Shun Chef’s Knife / Paring Knife
A good set of well-maintained knives makes everything else in the kitchen so much easier and safer. These were a Christmas investment for us last year and I highly recommend them.
Food Scale
In my opinion, this is a kitchen essential. Investing in a decent one that doesn’t need batteries to be replaced every few months and accurately measures your food will ensure baking goes smoothly, every time.
