Silicone Utensils – We’ve had these ones for years and love them! Easy to clean and have held up so well.
Sour Dough Starter Jar – For all of you out there with a sourdough hobby, I commend you. I can’t eat it so I’ve never wanted to do it, but man it looks so fun! This is the starter jar that I see a good majority of people using!
Egg Cooker – The only way we do hard boiled eggs now. It’s so easy. They have a bigger one if you need to do a lot. You can change the time depending on how you want them cooked too!
Magnetic Measuring Spoons – The clutter that measuring spoons cause is so frustrating. These magnet on top of each other, so no more cluttered drawer.
4 Waffle Maker – If you have lots of kids or entertain this makes waffles quickly to feed the masses. Plus everything is cuter when it’s mini.
Our Place Bakeware – A product I’ve used and loved for years. Our Place brings together functionality and aesthetics. They’re beautiful and have help up so well.
Ninja Air Fryer – It’s not just an air fryer, is does about a million other things. It grills, broils, toasts, you name it. I have had a lot of air fryers and this is at the top my list as one of my faves. I use it almost every day.. my favorite feature about this one is that it has a FLAT griddle.
Ice Cream Maker – A friend of our gifted this to us and we’ve been using it nonstop ever since. Check out our ice recipe HERE.
Cast Iron Skillet – We use a cast iron skillet all the time. I shared over the summer that Braun uses it to make his steaks and boy oh boy…are they good!
Butter Dish – This is the one I use.. it stores 4 sticks of butter inside. It’s got a great seal on the lid too so it keeps the butter fresh and spreadable.
Containers for Flour and Sugars – My favorite air tight containers! Each one comes with little details that make if easy to scoop, sift, etc.
Our Place Air Fryer – I haven’t tried this one out, but I’ve heard people rave about it. It’s free from all the chemicals that other air fryers have. Plus, it’s SO PRETTY.
Gold Chip Clips – The plastics ones always break, time to pull out the big guns with these stainless steel ones!
Recipe Club – Anyone else so over digital recipes and having to dig to find them? I know I am! My friend, Kelsey, designed the most beautiful binder to be able to store a physical copy of all your recipes. She includes a canva editable template too so all your recipes can look the same. Talk about GENIUS!
Peeler – The best peeler ever. My mother in law will be getting this for Christmas because she always asks me about mine.
Crepe Maker – You know when Braun pulls this puppy out we are going to be having crepes for the next 3 meals. 😂 If you know someone who loves crepes, this gift is the way to go. P.S. it weighs so many pounds and is the most industrial of crepe makers but you can whip them up so quickly on this and they turn out great every time. I bought this for Braun for Christmas a few years ago.
AM Niccoli Salt – Some of the best salt blends I’ve had in my entire life! Made locally here in Utah and we use it on just about everything. My discount auto applies at checkout!
Clean Simple Eats – This has been my favorite protein powder for YEARS. Tastes so good and they have tons of flavor options. They recently launched clear protein drinks and clear protein powder. Both of which are AMAZING. Code TARA saves you 10%.
Bowl Scale – Not having to take out measuring cups is a win for me. This bowl automatically weighs what’s in it!
Dinnerware – We aren’t at the point in our lives where we can all use glass plates without them breaking and that’s okay with me! I picked up this set from amazon and it’s been great. Also spaghetti sauce doesn’t stain it either.
Bowl Set + Colander – Bought these this year and love that they have lids + can stack into one another. Plus they are pretty.
Salt Sphere – This is what we put our AM Niccoli salt in. I leave it on my counter to it’s easily accessible.
Geometry Towels – I have these all over my house because they are the most absorbent towels ever! Not to mention they have the cutest designs all year round! Code TARA saves you.
Rice Paddles – I use this for so many things! Scooping, scraping or as a spatula… Way better than the ones that come with the Instant Pot.
Chopper with Drawer – This is the one we have and it’s such a time saver!
Spice Jars – Love the labels on these! Super cute bottles too.
Perfect Pot – I cannot say enough good things about Our Place pots and pans. I use them every single day. They are non stick and have a place for a wooden spoon that comes with it. Another product I love from Our Place is the ovenware set!
Material Knife Block – It definitely doesn’t look like a knife block, but it has a hidden magnet inside to hold them, it can also hold utensils. Added bonus… it is beautiful!
Meat Chopper – We’ve had one of these for a long time, it makes it so easy to smash your meet into smaller pieces.
Pancake Batter Mixer – Super easy to mix + dispense the batter from this! Can make a lot of batter too. Would be cute to do this with a bag of pancake mix + syrup!
Ziploc Holders – For all the meal preppers, these are awesome because they hold the bag open so it doesn’t collapse when you’re putting stuff into it!
Ooni Pizza Oven – This was the year of outdoor kitchen gadgets for Braun. We LOVE the Ooni oven. It can cook pizzas in 30 seconds. One of our favorite family nights is build your own pizza night. So much fun!
Oven Mitts – Bought these last year! They’re silicone on the outside so they clean super easy.
Electric Dutch Oven – Love, love, love this! We use it for soups, roasts, sauces. It’s AWESOME. I braise my roast first and then slow cook it. It’s amazing.
Apron – I like that this one doesn’t tie so you don’t have to fuss with it. I gifted it to myself earlier this year.
Kitchen Aid – How beautiful is this brass bowl? So timeless.
Always Pan – Again, amazing quality and visually stunning. I don’t even mind if they are out on my stove because they are so cute. This pan can do so many things, sauté, fry, sear. It’s also non-stick and has spot for the wooden spoon. They came out with a cast iron option too!
Can Opener – I know what it looks like… but trust me! I was so sick of my manual can openers breaking and this one has been magic.
Ninja Creami – Say hello to the magical world of making your own ice cream with ease. Seriously, you can make any type of ice cream (tons of recipes online). It’s been a big seller this year. Our favorite recipe is on my reel!
Bear Paw Meat Shredders – These are so great for smoked meats, shreds the meat in a breeze.
Blackstone Grill – This was a Father’s Day WIN last year. Braun has loved using it and it has so many functions. We ended up getting the one with the 2 air fryer baskets + warming station for an all in one cooking experience, but you could also get the one without the air fryers! We have this one too which is great for camping or being on the go because it folds up really well + has wheels.
Here’s all the Blackstone accessories he’s bought since getting it:
Smart Meat Thermometer – One of Braun’s favorite kitchen gadgets.
Slow Cooker – Love the price point on this slow cooker and it’s so cute too!
Smart Food Scale – I don’t understand how this works, but it connects to an app on your phone and will tell you allll the nutrition facts on the food that’s on the scale. It’s crazy cool!
