While food is certainly a powerful medicine, no one can spend all their time in the kitchen. These are my must-have kitchen tools and gadgets that allow me to make healthful and delicious meals for my family, all while doing it as efficiently as humanly possible.

Instant Pot

I use this so much that I now own two.

Steamer Basket for Instant Pot

 I love using this in my instant pot for hard boiled eggs and potatoes. It makes it much easier to pull them out.

Vitamix

I use this daily from smoothies, soups and sauces

Hamilton Single Serving Coffee Maker
