Love this glass jar for storing my homemade pancake mix!! Plus showing off my griddle and pancake dispenser for the easiest pancake experience.

My 5.5 qt Staub Dutch oven is the PERFECT size! Big enough for sourdough bread, stews, pot roasts but not too huge. I use it constantly for everything! Best kitchen investment I've made. Shop my exact Staub below!

The griddle we use every weekend

The large cooking surface makes it easy to cook a full batch of pancakes at once. It heats evenly, gives everyone room to help, and makes weekend breakfasts so much simpler.

The knives I reach for every day

Zwilling knives are my daily kitchen workhorses, and their knife sharpener keeps every blade ready to use. I run my knives through it about once a week, and it works with standard blades, Asian-style knives, and kitchen scissors.
