My new morning routine 🍞- Once you use an Ankarsrum for kneading your dough, there’s no going back!

I made this video to show you just how effortless this machine makes the whole process and honestly it still amazes me every single time.
Kneading bread dough by hand is hard work. It takes time, it takes muscle, and let's be honest -- most of us just don't do it consistently because of that. But when your stand mixer does all the hard work for you, suddenly you find yourself baking homemade bread more often. And that smell of freshly baked bread filling your home? There is nothing like it in the world.

The Ankarsrum stand mixer was built specifically for bread baking. The powerful motor handles even the stiffest sourdough bread dough, whole wheat bread dough, and large batch bread dough without breaking a sweat.

If you have been on the fence about upgrading your bread baking game, this is your sign. The Ankarsrum is hands down the best stand mixer for bread baking and I could not imagine my kitchen without it.

I absolutely love how cute these clear glass canisters look on my counter! Actually, I didn’t even know that I need new flour and sugar canisters until I saw them on Amazon. So I ordered them, and when they arrived, it was true love! If you’d like to evaluate your kitchen decor or pantry a little, I highly recommend ordering these!

Steak prices are no joke right now, and the last thing you want after spending that kind of money at the grocery store is to overcook your steaks. We learned a long time ago that guessing is never worth the risk.

We use two thermometers when we grill steaks. A wireless internal thermometer monitors the temperature the whole time they’re on the grill, and then right before we pull them off we do a final check with our ThermoWorks Thermopop instant read thermometer. That two-second reading gives us the confidence to pull them at exactly the right moment every single time.

The Thermopop is one of those tools that sounds simple but completely changes how you cook. It reads in two to three seconds, the rotating display works no matter which hand you hold it in, and it’s accurate to within a degree. Once you cook steaks with one you will never go back to guessing.

Why every home cook needs this:
🥩 2 to 3 second instant read
🥩 Accurate to within 1 degree
🥩 Rotating display works in any hand
🥩 Works for steaks, roasts, chicken, fish, anything

Shop below to for the thermometer we use every single time we grill! And I’m sharing two of our favorite probe style internal thermometer that we keep inside the meat while we are grilling.

The secret to the creamiest macaroni and cheese isn’t just the cheese, it’s the pan you make the sauce in. I learned that the hard way after years of grainy, broken cheese sauce.

My Our Place Titanium Pro pots and pans changed that for me. The heat stays so even that the cheese melts down smooth and silky instead of scorching on the bottom, and nothing sticks or clumps while you whisk. That’s the whole game with a good cheese sauce. Low, even heat and a pan that lets you stir without fighting hot spots.

I reach for these for everything now, but a stovetop cheese sauce is where they really show off. Bonus, they’re free of the chemicals that worry me in older nonstick, so I feel good using them for my family every day.

Why I love them for mac and cheese:
🧀 Even heat means smooth, silky cheese sauce, no scorching
🧀 Nothing sticks while you whisk
🧀 No harsh nonstick chemicals
🧀 Goes from stovetop to table and cleans up easy

Sunday mornings around here mean biscuits and gravy, and the secret is all in the tools. A good baking sheet gives you tall, golden biscuits with crisp bottoms (no soggy middles). And this cast iron skillet is what makes the gravy so good. The even heat keeps it from scorching while the sausage flavor builds into something rich and creamy. My husband went back for seconds, which tells you everything.

Just another example of what you can make with a good cast iron skillet and a baking sheet.

Did you know cast iron makes the most incredible scrambled eggs? I was skeptical too until I tried it!

The secret is that cast iron holds heat so evenly that your eggs cook slowly and gently instead of getting rubbery and overdone like they do in a regular pan. Low and slow in cast iron gives you these big, creamy, fluffy curds that are absolute perfection.

I've been cooking with cast iron for years and it is hands down my most used pan in the kitchen. No chemicals, naturally non-stick when properly seasoned, and it gets better the more you use it. Lodge makes a great pre-seasoned option that's very affordable, and if you want to splurge, Staub and Le Creuset enameled skillets are absolutely worth every penny.

Why cast iron for eggs:
🍳 Even heat = no hot spots, no rubbery eggs
🍳 Naturally non-stick with no chemical coating
🍳 One pan goes from stovetop to oven
🍳 Lasts literally forever

The one tool I reach for every single time I make cookies is my cookie scoop and I will never go back to using a spoon!

This medium scoop gives me perfectly portioned dough balls every single time so every cookie bakes up the same size, the same shape, and with those gorgeous golden edges. No more guessing, no more uneven batches, no more some cookies overdone while others are still raw in the middle.

I use mine for chocolate chip cookies, sourdough discard cookies, peanut butter cookies, snickerdoodles, AND meatballs and energy bites. It’s honestly one of the most hardworking tools in my kitchen.

What I love most:
🍪 Perfectly even cookies every single bake
🍪 No more sticky dough on your hands
🍪 Spring-release makes it so fast and easy
🍪 Works for way more than just cookies

Tap to shop my favorite cookie scoop!

I’ve tried a lot of bread pans over the years and these are my absolute favorites! After testing so many options, I keep coming back to these because every loaf releases perfectly, bakes up with beautiful golden sides, and the size is just right for sandwich bread.

If you’ve ever had a loaf stick or bake unevenly, it’s probably your pan. These make all the difference whether you’re baking sourdough sandwich bread, classic white bread, or banana bread.

What I love about them:
🍞 Perfect loaf release every time
🍞 Even baking, golden crust all the way around
🍞 The right size for sandwich slices
🍞 Durable enough to last for years

$The Instant Pot is my absolute secret weapon for simple, easy meal prep and once you give it a try I promise it will become your new favorite meal prep hack too! In this video I am dropping a whole chicken right into my pressure cooker, and what comes out is the most tender, juicy, perfectly cooked shredded chicken you have ever seen. We are talking fall apart chicken in a fraction of the time it would take in the oven -- and the cleanup is so simple! Here is why I reach for my Instapot every single week for meal prep: one whole chicken gives you enough shredded chicken for chicken tacos, chicken soup, chicken salad, enchiladas, casseroles, and so much more. Cook once and eat all week -- that is the kind of meal prep I can get behind! The Instant Pot pressure cooker does all the hard work while you do something else entirely. No watching, no basting, no checking. Just set it, walk away, and come back to a perfectly cooked bird every single time. #LTKdayinmylife #LTKfoodie #LTKmorningroutine$

Once you experience a homemade pizza hot out of the Ooni in 60 to 90 seconds, there’s no going back. Perfectly crispy crust, bubbling cheese, and everyone gets exactly the toppings they want. No compromising, no picking off mushrooms, no waiting 45 minutes at the door.

Weekly pizza night is officially a thing at our house, and it could not be easier. Just prep your toppings, stretch your dough, and let the Ooni do its thing.

Trust me, your family will be asking for pizza night at home every single week!

Some kitchen tools are just pretty. This one is pretty AND a workhorse. 🙌
My grenadine Staub Dutch oven has been one of the best investments I’ve ever made in my kitchen. I’m used it here to braise short ribs, but honestly, I reach for it almost every single day. Soups, stews, roasting a whole chicken, baking sourdough bread… it does it all, and it goes straight from the stove to the oven to the table looking beautiful every time.

$If there is one kitchen tool I would never give up it is my Instant Pot and I am pretty sure anyone who owns one feels the same way! I actually have two – a 3 quart for smaller meals and a 6 quart for family sized portions – and between the two of them they get used more than almost anything else in my kitchen. Here is why I love pressure cooking so much. What normally takes hours on the stovetop or in the oven gets done in a fraction of the time in the Instant Pot. Think fall apart tender pot roast in under an hour, perfectly cooked dried beans in 30 minutes, the fluffiest mashed potatoes you have ever tasted, and the easiest to peel hard boiled eggs every single time. Pressure cooking also locks in more nutrients and flavor than traditional cooking methods, which means your food not only gets done faster but actually tastes better too! Whether you call it an Instant Pot, a pressure cooker, or an Instapot, this is the one appliance I recommend to every home cook without hesitation. We have dozens of Instant Pot pressure cooker recipes on The Feathered Nester to help you get the most out of yours! Sharing my favorite Instant Pot models below #LTKfoodie #LTKdayinmylife #LTKmomlife$
