If you love to cook, be sure to check out these items and put them on your Christmas list if you don't have them! These are some of the things that I literally don't think I could live without in my kitchen. Ok, I could probably live without them, but life sure wouldn't be as fun!  I use most of them multiple times a week, if not daily.

 Le Creuset Dutch Oven

Why I love you: I use you for soups, stocks, and a variety of other dishes. I even baked some bread in you. I love that you don't mind if I take you off the stove and put you in the oven. You heat nice and evenly which allows for perfectly sauteed vegetables and no burnt cream/milk! LC, I truly do love you and my husband does too!

Cuisinart Food Processor

Why I love you: You have allowed me to make my baby delicious homemade baby food in no time at all. You puree so nicely. You save me so much time when you chop my pecans, grate my cheese, and slice my carrots. Most recently, you perfectly whipped up my fabulous Shrimp Bisque. Ok, not exaclty MY shrimp bisque, but you know, my best friend, BC.

 Stainless Pepper Mill

Why I love you: You grind the perfect blend of pepper flakes..not too big, not too small. I can't think of anything else that get's my senses going in the kitchen. I can see, smell, and taste the difference in the pepper you grind. You make all my dishes taste better and I use you almost as much as your best friend, Salt.

Many more items to come so stay-tuned for Part 2! If your in the market for a new kitchen item and need some advice, please leave a comment and I'll try my best to lead you in the right direction.

Happy Cooking!
