Fun fact: I don’t love gadgets and kitchen equipment I don’t use. Who has room to store something you might use someday? Not me! But I love functional and well-made kitchen tools that last a long time! Since some of these resources I love are investments, please reach out if you have any questions. Without a doubt, there’s always a backup for less money to match the season you’re in. Plus, I could talk about kitchen tools and food favorites forever.

My top two favorite kitchen tools . . . if I had to choose!
Solutions to Kitchen Problems I’m Loving Right Now!
Aunt Fannie’s FlyPunch! My all-time favorite solution to fruit flies that works! (And I’ve tried a lot of things!) I find it both at Thrive and Amazon!
Compostic compostable cling wrap that is pre-perforated and clings tight! I love that I can toss it in the compost bin with no regrets.
We’ve had this kitchen compost bin for a few years now, and we love the size, color, and function. You need these bags!
I love these individual parchment sheets that fit the size of a baking sheet. No more ripping the box or the paper.
I use this Matcha whisk and spoon set daily!
Thrive matcha is my go-to for quality (organic and ceremonial grade matcha) + price!
Matcha Love ceremonial grade matcha I buy if Thrive runs out!
I like Organic Califia, Malk, and Three Trees almond milk for the simple ingredient list!

Our morning brew is this Four Sigmatic Organic Mushroom Coffee.
