I love kitchen appliances and gadgets to make healthy eating fun and easy!
​Here are some of my favorite things that are a must have for me in my kitchen:
I love kitchen appliances and gadgets to make healthy eating fun and easy! Here are some of my favorite things that are a must have for me in my kitchen:

VITA MIX

I couldn’t go a day without my VITA MIX blender! I use it for our daily smoothies, salad dressings, sauces and so much more.

​This brand is on the pricier side, but it’s the best quality, in my opinion, and it will last for years! I have used a Vita Mix for over 15 years.

​I especially love the way it blends greens really well too!   

INSTANT POT

If you don’t have an INSTANT POT yet, then what are you waiting for?! This is a multi-use, pressure/slow cooker which speeds up cooking time by 2-10 times and uses up to 70% less energy. No more waiting for water to boil when making corn on the cob…it takes 2 minutes in the Instant Pot! I love making lentil soup, chili, rice, quinoa, potatoes, steamed veggies and I am still experimenting! It’s a great time saver for busy families! 

FOOD PROCESSOR

My FOOD PROCESSOR is another appliance that I use on a daily basis!

For chopping, slicing, dicing, pureeing and mixing, this food processor is the ultimate time-saver!

Perfect for hummus, dips, sauces and prepping daily veggies...make it easy with a food processor! 

AIR FRYER

A healthy way to eat crispy “fried” food? Yes, its an AIR FRYER! This is our newest kitchen appliance and we are loving it. An air fryer cooks by circulating hot air around the food using a convection mechanism. A mechanical fan circulates hot air around the food at high speed, cooking the food quickly and producing a crispy layer. So far, we have tried zucchini fries, portobello mushroom fries, sweet potato and French fries, buffalo cauliflower wings, plantains and crispy tofu. We are still experimenting with new recipes.  It’s very quick and easy to use and it’s another time saver for those busy days! 

DEHYDRATOR

Kale Chips, Flax Crackers and Granola: Our 3 favorite things to make in our DEHYDRATOR!

​I love having a dehydrator to preserve fruits and veggies and to make many healthy snacks! A food dehydrator removes moisture from the food, using low temperatures, to aid in preservation.
