Foodie Christmas Gift Guide

With Christmas just around the corner, I put together a little list of the foodie things that I love (or really want), that I think will make any foodie on your list happy.

 

Tea Towels, $6.95: My kitchen is not complete without dish towels. I use them for everything from wiping spills to taking things out of the oven. Anything that makes me smile when I am working in the kitchen is a plus in my book.

Paderno World Cuisine Spiralizer, $39.99: A spiralizer is a must have in every kitchen in my opinion. This little machine makes the perfect spirals out of almost any fruit or veggie you put into it. This is great for salads and making all types of veggie noodles. I use mine multiple times a month!

Nutri Ninja Kitchen System, $249.99: The Ninja is an incredible blender/food processor system. It comes with the standard blender attachment, 3 on-the-go smoothie cups with lids and a food processor attachment. This does the work of three different kitchen appliances and does all the jobs really well. If you are a breakfast smoothie kind of person like I am, this is the perfect gift.

Marble Serving Boards, $29.95: Marble seems to be the new trend when it comes to all things for the home and I have to say I love it. This marble serving board is perfect for cheese and other appetizers.

Breville Espresso Machine, $599.95: We received this espresso machine as a bridal shower gift and I and so thankful every morning that we have this machine in our lives. Like with any espresso machine, there is a little bit of a learning curve, but once you have it down, there are dozens of delicious drinks you can make at home, no red cups necessary.

Himalayan Salt Block, $69.95: This is the only thing on the list I do not own yet. We only use Himalayan salt in our cooking and I have heard a lot of good reviews about using salt blocks for cooking. We tried cedar planks on the BBQ last summer and the results were great. I think that this block would produce delicious fish and meats as well. It is safe for use on the stovetop and in the over as well, and can even be chilled and used as a serving board.

KitchenAid Sparkling Beverage Maker, $199.95: In our household we are seltzer lovers, so it was natural to purchase a soda maker. The Kitchenaid matches our other appliances and makes a mean bottle of seltzer. It comes in a variety of colors and has already paid for itself in the amount of money we have saved, not purchasing bottled seltzer, not to mention the number of bottles we saved from going to the landfill.

OXO Scraper & Chopper, $9.99: When we were purchasing kitchen tools after our kitchen renovation, Tommy insisted we purchase this and I was 100% sure that it would lay in the drawer collecting dust. I could not have been more wrong. I use this almost everyday and every time I am chopping or dicing veggies. This is the perfect tool to transport anything from the cutting board to pot/pan and makes cooking simpler and less messy.

Cast Iron Pre-Seasoned Skillet, prices vary: Every kitchen needs a cast iron skillet. Before we purchased one ourselves, I was intimidated by the upkeep, but it is super simple to care for and can be used for everything from steak to cake. It is super versatile and I love that I can sear some meat on the stove top before putting into the over to fully cook. My #1 must have for kitchens.
