       Kitchen Tools & Staples

In this Post I want to share with my readers some of the things I must always have in my kitchen. First starting with my gadgets first is my cast iron dutch oven. Yes it does take a little effort to keep a cast iron anything in good condition but it's worth it and it cooks great and they are very inexpensive i purchased mine from Williams Sonoma for $35.00 regular price

Next Are just a few standard things dry measuring cups, wine opener, marinade injector and a can opener. These things are all pretty basic but are essential in my kitchen i got them all from my local Wal-Mart and they are pretty good quality.

 My cookbook stand with measurement translations on the side, this really comes in handy to hold my tablet or cookbook when I'm cooking with recipes and also helps with measuring if i must convert measurements. I also got this from Williams Sonoma.









My spices are very important as I love to experiment with different flavors in my food. A few things that i must keep are Olive Oil, Balsamic Vinegar, Dry parsley, Creole Seasoning, Black Pepper, Sea Salt, Garlic Powder, and Italian Seasoning. For Baking I always have non- stick spray, vanilla extract, mexican vanilla ( a lot stronger and gives great flavor) Almond extract, honey, baking soda, and baking powder.







My grater is awesome it was a very cheap find but is a great tool it has all different blades on its sides and i use it a lot for fresh cheese and vegetables.

this handy little chopper is a life saver for my cut up seasoning or making french fries or cutting up large amounts of anything. I got this little tool from Williams Sonoma as well great investment has totally changed my life in the kitchen

Cut Up Seasoning

This is something I cook with in just about all my recipes it is a mixture of Yellow Onions, Green Bell Pepper, Garlic, and Parsley. I store a small amount in the refrigerator to use whenever I need and I store a few gallon bags in my freezer as back up for holidays or big family meals. Great shortcut for recipes that call for these veggies.
