Items To Help You Make These Recipes
- Knife Set – A cook is only as good as their knives… that may not be the exact phrase, but I do think it’s very true.
- Baking Sheet – I recommend purchasing a non-stick baking sheet if you don’t have one already, it makes clean-up so much easier!
- Crock Pot – The slow cooking is my culinary best friend. This style of ‘hands-free’ cooking is super easy and allows you to prepare dinner on your own schedule.
- Mixing Bowls – I really like to use mixing bowls that have airtight lids. They serve a dual purpose, with a lot of flexibility when you’re preparing a meal.
