When it comes to real-food cooking it helps to have the right tools and utensils on hand to make homemade cooking a breeze. Here is a list of my favorite kitchen gadgets to make healthy real-food cooking easiest:

Here are my favorite kitchen must-haves to make real food cooking easier!

  Mason Jars my motto is “You can never have enough Mason jars” Okay, so that’s not really my motto, but you would think that it was if you paid a visit to my house! I use these suckers for just about everything!

    Glassware I prefer to store food in glass cookware for health reasons.

 Crock Pot this is another cooking time saver! All you need to do is throw the ingredients in and come back hours later to a ready to eat meal. This is perfect for busy moms! Here are my favorite Crock Pot Recipes!

  Julienne Slicer this is great for making veggie noodles. It’s a cheaper and smaller utensil than a spiralizer. Plus my husband would probably freak out if I happened upon another kitchen gadget! LOL

  Pressure Cooker you can make a meal in no time! Seriously! Meals in an hour, bone broth in hours, talk about a time saver!

  I love making delicious, healthy and nutritious breakfasts! I use this regularly for making the most important meal of the day – Cast Iron Waffle Maker

  In our house we don’t own a microwave for health reasons, and haven’t for over a decade, we use this instead – Convection Oven

  This kitchen gadget is one of my favorites. I remember saving up to add this to my kitchen and have been so glad that I did. I once used it 8 times in one day! Yep, 8! It’s that amazing and can be used to make almost anything. It’s a Vitamix  and I use this daily for everything from smoothies, homemade dairy free milk, soups and so much more!

  These Bamboo Utensils are great to cook with, they are environmentally friendly and a much better alternative to plastic utensils.

 This magnetic spice rack is a great way to make sure that you have fresh herbs and spices at bay!

 We LOVE our Lunch Bots for lunches and bringing food along as we travel. They are easy to clean and very light.

  Silicone molds are great for making healthy homemade gumbos.

When it comes to cooking I avoid Non-stick for health and safety reasons which you can read about here. I use this instead – Cast Iron Cookware
