1. An Instant Pot that just might revolutionize the way you cook because it does it all. Say goodbye to eating cereal for dinner and hello to delicious meals in a matter of minutes.
2. Or just a rice cooker with a delayed timer, so you can put rice in it before you leave for work, and come home to delicious food that's ready to eat.
3. A Vidalia Chop Wizard because chopping takes an absurd amount of time. Like, seriously, when I read a recipe and it says it will take 20 minutes, they're not taking my slow chopping skills into account. This gadget will ~cut~ that chopping time in half.
4. A nonstick cookware set that distributes heat evenly, so your food cooks faster (and better).
5. An EZ Off Jar Opener because I can't be the only one who's abandoned making dinner and simply ordered takeout because I couldn't get a jar open.
6. A set of microwave-safe nesting storage bowls you can fill with food and then put directly in the microwave, essentially cutting out the middle man when it comes to transferring food. Less work = best work.
7. A convection oven way more convenient to use than your actual oven because it cooks faster and more evenly. You can toast, bake, broil, roast, and more in this bright red baby.
8. A microwave pasta cooker because waiting for water to boil is the WORST part of making pasta. What's the saying about watching paint dry? Well, when you're hungry, boiling water is worse than that.
9. A five-minute chef that cooks both the top and bottom of the food at once so you have more time to get in bed and watch Netflix before passing out.
10. A baby food maker for the busy parent who doesn't have the hours in the day to make homemade baby food each night. Just make a batch and put it in the pouches so you can freeze it and have it ready when needed.
11. A rapid ramen cooker because ramen isn't just for students living in college dorms. Plus, you can make you own version of a dish many restaurants are now serving at high prices.
12. A banana slicer you'll wonder how you ever lived without. It's a simple task, but it might even change your life.
13. A grilled cheese bag designed to make the perfect grilled cheese without turning on the stove. You'll brie so thankful.
14. A meal planner – it'll be helpful for you to write down what you're going to have for dinner instead of just staring into your fridge when you get home, hoping some sort of inspiration will come to you.
15. A non-stick baking sheet you can fill with veggies and a protein, throw some spices on it, and stick in the oven for 15 minutes to make a delicious (and healthy) meal.
16. A fruit soft-serve maker that'll turn whatever fruit you have into a delicious treat for dessert. You won't even realize you're being healthy.
17. An avocado splitter, pitter, and slicer because I refuse to accept that avocado toast isn't something you should be eating for dinner multiple nights a week.
18. A defrosting tray so you can easily and quickly defrost meat because it's too hard to remember to take it out of the freezer before you leave for work.
19. A griddler that may change the way you make sandwiches – once you've turned your sandwich into a panini, there's no going back.
20. A rapid egg cooker you can use to make hard, medium, or soft boiled eggs. Doesn't that sound delicious on top of a salad?
21. A stoneware clay dish that makes an omelet in 45-seconds. Yes, you heard that right, only 45-seconds!! Plus, breakfast is too delicious of a meal to only eat in the morning.
22. A grill and griddle pan so you only have to get one pan dirty to make a complete meal.
23. A two-tier food steamer because you might be ~out of steam~, but that doesn't mean your dinner has to be!
24. An air fryer for when you're crazing fried food (i.e. basically all the time) but want something that's a little lighter. All you have to do is plug in the digits and you'll have good food in no time (minus the oil).
25. An Aroma Housewares 3-in-1 Superpot you can use for slow cooking, steaming, and simmering, oh my!
Me on a mission to get into bed as soon as I get home from work:
