Gifts For the Busy Home Cook

An air fryer can save you so much time cooking healthy crispy food with little to no oil. It’s fantastic at roasting delicious veggies and main dishes, and you’ll love that it doesn’t heat up the entire kitchen.

Check out all my air fryer recipes for cooking inspiration.

This mixer will become a member of the family. Your life is incomplete without it. It can pretty much do everything from mixing up doughs, cookies, homemade ice cream, to making your own brown sugar to making your own healthy pizza dough for homemade frozen pizzas.

These reusable silicone containers are super easy to use and clean (they stay open in the dishwasher!) and are made in the USA.

There are so many uses for these versatile sheet pans! You can use them to roast veggies, create sheet pan meals, bake desserts, freeze your own produce, and even as a makeshift lid for pots on the stove.

These lids are so useful in the kitchen for meal prep or covering fast meals. You can fit them over (almost) any sized bowl to stash in the fridge or freezer, or even take a dish to a potluck or dinner party. They are user-friendly and can help you cut down on your plastic wrap use.

Everyone needs Pyrex in their kitchen, and Pyrex with lids are game-changers! Amazing for meal prep, you can prepare and/or bake dishes ahead of time and keep them safely covered in the fridge. And they last FOREVER and are incredibly affordable.

The dream of every Type-A person is to have a well-organized spice cabinet. These little metal tins come with almost 100 various labels for all of your spice collection. They keep spices fresh and save you a ton of money by allowing you to refill them at the grocery store instead of purchasing new bottles of spices. This also helps you “green” your kitchen in a manageable way.

There won’t be a day that goes by without you using this handy mixing bowl/measuring cup. Perfect for measuring large quantities for ingredients, you can also mix doughs, batters, or sauces in this cup. It is fridge or freezer safe and it’s the perfect size without being too heavy.

Sure, it’s great for heating up toast and smaller quantities of food, but the convenience of roasting a small cast iron skillet of veggies can’t be underscored. A countertop convection oven is great for all kinds of cooking and it won’t heat up your kitchen during warmer weather.

Wonderful for anyone who loves to meal prep but wants to cut plastic out of their kitchen. Divided glass containers are incredible for storing separate components of dishes in one handy place.

Anyone who has read this blog for longer than 10 minutes, knows how much I hate clutter. This gets one more thing off of your counter, which means it allows you to meal prep without having to search for a particular knife.
