Favorite Picks for Food & Home

Published 4 months ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader-

Who knew that Black Friday started a week before the actual Black Friday?! These sales keep happening earlier & longer but that works in our favor.

I rounded up some favorite things in case you need a gift for a foodie in your life (or want to add something to YOUR wish list). Not all are on sale (today) but they all make great presents.

Foodie Favorites

You know how I feel about my slow cooker, but if we're being honest, I use my air fryer even more than the crockpot.
I got this cookware set a few weeks ago & am still mostly loving it. I will say they're a bit heavy, but love the non-stick.
I recently did a poll about using a meat chopper vs a spatula or wooden spoon and the results were pretty 50/50. I personally always use the chopper.
Many pancakes have been made on this griddle pan.
I always recommend shredding your own cheese for maximum meltiness. This tool makes it super easy.
Robert got me this pepper grinder and it's pretty on the counter. And works well.
I feel like this lunch crock could be a good teacher gift. Here's how I use mine.

Non-Food Favorites

Recent favorites outside of the kitchen.

I'm a house shoe girl.
For each bathroom. They're washable!
This lamp is so pretty.

In my cart 🛒

Do you have someone specific you need help shopping for?

We're off to see Wicked this afternoon. Talk to you soon!

Hi Reader, We're going window shopping this morning. We have gotten three quotes and holy moly 🤑💸 If you've gotten windows fairly recently, have you noticed a tint on them?
