What items would you place in your dream kitchen?
- bar furniture?
- a beer tap?
- a grill pan?
- something so exciting I haven’t even thought of it yet?
I’m really not one for jealousy, but the blogworld does bring out a bit of the green monster in me. I may be very satisfied with my own fabulous life, but I want a food processor to make banana soft serve in damnit! And I want a juicer, but mostly I just want to move back to a city that has juice bars!
It’s funny, because I actually received some amazing things as wedding gifts – can we say bright yellow KitchenMaid stand mixer?! I actually own a food processor already, but due to the size of our apartments most of our cool wedding gifts still live in my childhood bedroom. Which means my parents occasionally use them (fondue party!) and I find myself getting jealous of my own stuff!
No matter the generosity of my wedding attendants, I would always want more kitchen stuff. I pour through Crate and Barrel catalogs the way most women look at shoes. Here are some of the things I would own in my current dream kitchen –
- a spiralizer
- a vitamix
- a sodastream
- a slow cooker
- a juicer
- a grill
- a scantily dressed man to help with the dishes kidding!
Well, CSN Stores sent me an e-mail and offered to make some of my dreams come true. I got to choose my very own dream kitchen item to review in the upcoming weeks. Adam weighed in heavily on this decision, and he we choose to go with the slow cooker.
Enough dreaming, it’s almost noon!, time to get down to the nitty gritty. My breakfast post is late because my morning is running late; I woke up feeling queasy and light-headed so I decided I was better off going back to bed. The three boys who ate pizza with me all feel fine and I’m a bit more sturdy now after breakfast so maybe I was just hungry?!?
“What did this magical elixir breakfast contain,” you ask?
Stonyfield Low-Fat Strawberry yogurt, 1/2cup fresh raspberries, and a package of All-Bran Bran Buds.
The All-Bran was actually a sample I sent away for in the mail and it was ridiculously tasty. I’m pretty sure I’m going to buy some once my cereal cabinet thins out a bit.
Speaking of things that are ridiculously good….. Buy. This.
The husband has a deep obsession with Biscoff cookies (he asks for so many extra when we fly Delta that the stewardesses always think he’s adorable and I die of embarrassment) and I’m deeply obsessed with the husband, so when I found out they made Biscoff cookie spread I ordered some up. It ended up being a gift to both of us because this stuff is amazing. I absolutely had a spoonful before making breakfast today.
What is your favorite spread that isn’t peanut butter? I think before yesterday I would have said Nutella, but there is no competing against Biscoff now!
Fruit eaten so far today: 1/2cup

I just really want a stand mixer! Our hand mixer is horrible, so I typically mix all things by hand.
My favorite non-pb is spread is definitely nutella, too. So delicious 🙂
Go fruit, 1/2 cup down already 🙂
Believe it or not, I’m addicted to Marshmallow fluff. I put it on toast. I dip fruit in it. I dip pitas in it. Heck, I just EAT it… So sad….
FLUFF! I can’t believe I forgot about Fluff!!!
I DO want a vitamix but I don’t mind my own crappy blender. hehe
I have a food processor and a juicer so I’m a lucky girl but I definitely have a tiny kitchen and have to prioritize my stuff by putting some in the garage. haha
I don’t really love spreads…weird I know. But once my best friend bought me some fig spread that I put on EVERYTHING until it ran out. I also love pumpkin butter in the fall.
That crock pot is so exciting! I can’t wait to see what you make with it. 🙂
Em – Do you get to KEEP the crock pot? If not, you can have ours. Daddy says everything cooked in it tastes the same (like mush). I don’t agree, but, whatever. You can make Adam chicken and dumplings! (I’ll put it in your closet with your mixer!)
Slow cookers are a magical invention – I love slow cooker. Good luck with the product sample, I hope you get to keep it. FYI – I’ve gotten some of my niftiest kitchen gadgets through Black Friday sales at Target and Walmart. Requires some patience and perseverance, but WELL worth it!
never tried nutella! i hear such great things about it!
almond butter. ALMOND BUTTER IS AMAZING! or sunflower seed butter. =D
Of the nut butters sunflower is my favorite!
