Kitchen Favorites
The little things really do make the biggest difference. These are the kitchen essentials I reach for every single day—from my favorite air fryer and go-to utensils to the kitchen towels and gadgets I can't live without. If it makes cooking, cleaning, or everyday life a little easier, you'll find it here.
Funny enough, before I got married, I had never used an air fryer in my life. I know... it's a little embarrassing to admit! But now? I honestly can't imagine my kitchen without it.
My husband is one of the pickiest eaters you'll ever meet, so we quite literally have potatoes with almost every meal. I love seasoning them up, tossing them in the air fryer, and by the time I've finished cooking the protein and the rest of dinner, the potatoes are perfectly crispy and ready to go.
And it's not just for sides! I've made everything from chicken parmesan to quick lunches and easy weeknight dinners in it. At this point, I'm convinced there's not much it can't do. If you're on the fence about getting an air fryer, consider this your sign—you'll wonder how you ever lived without one.!
