1. A breakfast sandwich maker because breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so it'd better be good. Throw in an English muffin, crack an egg and add some cheese, and breakfast is served within minutes.
2. An Instant Pot that's actually a rice cooker, steamer, slow cooker and six other things, all in one handy little appliance. It'll do all the cooking for you — just add your ingredients, take a 30-minute nap, and dinner is ready. 🧑🍳
3. A rapid egg cooker to cook your eggs *exactly* how you like them. If you're always overcooking your eggs or just don't have the patience to stand by a simmering pot on the stove, get this handy little egg cooker and let it do all the work for you — it hardboils, poaches, and even makes scrambled eggs and omelets!
4. A jar of Better Cheddar cheese powder that you can use on popcorn, in mac and cheese, in biscuits, in bread, and on or in basically anything else you can think of, because it's *that* good. Suddenly we're remembering snack time exists every day.
5. A set of meat shredder claws you'll wish you bought years ago. Forget wasting time trying to shred chicken with two forks — get these claws and you'll be amazed how quick and easy it is. You can also use them to move large pieces of food stably and safely — so no more fumbling the turkey from the roasting pan to the platter.
6. A pack of six flavors of ready-to-eat seasoned beans that are healthy, tasty, and easy to grab for lunch when there's literally nothing in your fridge other than a questionable lemon and some orange juice. Serve the beans over rice, on tortillas, or with some flatbread for a nutritious and satisfying meal.
7. An electric quesadilla maker for a quick and easy lunch that's way better than that fast food burger you were tempted to pick up. I mean, what's better than ooey-gooey cheesy goodness that was also easy to make? Top them with all your favorite toppings and you have yourself a real meal.
8. A vegetable chopper that will save you so much time in the kitchen. Chop onions, peppers, and tomatoes in a snap, and throw them in a pan with some eggs for the tastiest, easiest omelet.
9. A large pancake spatula so you never again have to deal with torn, half-flipped pancakes. This spatula makes it *so* much easier to flip pancakes (and crepes) — you'll be making stacks of perfectly golden pancakes in no time. 🥞
10. And if you're going to get the spatula, you need this confetti pancake mix to cook up the most delicious batch of pancakes possible. They're light, fluffy and speckled with sprinkles, so you know you'll never skip breakfast again.
11. A Blue Apron meal kit subscription that will make your favorite takeout spot wonder if you've moved out of town. Their ever-changing menu gives you a fresh choice of dishes each week, which are conveniently delivered right to your door. Simply open the insulated box, follow the easy step-by-step recipes and enjoy the gourmet meal you just cheffed up.
12. A set of two nonstick silicone baking mats to whip up the perfect cookie when you're craving something sweet. No more dirty cookie sheets or cutting annoying parchment paper — these mats are so easy to use and clean, they're a total game changer.
13. A microwave pasta cooker so you can make your favorite carbonara anytime you want without having to boil a giant pot of water on the stove. Just pop this in the microwave, wait for it to ding, and your pasta is cooked to al dente perfection.
14. A jar of za'atar spice mix that you'll soon be adding to every food in sight. If you've never tried this Middle Eastern spice, it's tangy, savory and so full of flavor that it'll instantly transform any dish you use it in. Translation = you don't have to avoid cooking because you know it'll be bland anymore.
15. A set of six colorful taco holders to make Taco Tuesdays a little more festive. They're sturdy, easy to clean and dishwasher- and microwave-safe, which let's be honest is the best part, because who's going to cook when there's more dishes to hand wash?
16. A rainbow moon-and-stars sprinkles mix because sprinkles make everything better, cuter *and* tastier. Use them on cakes or cupcakes for the prettiest and most delicious homemade desserts that will have you thinking you should sign up for a baking contest (and not Nailed It).
17. A two-piece rectangular bakeware set that you can use to bake pasta, vegetables, meats, cakes and pretty much everything else. Plus, the cute aqua color and embossed detail makes them pretty enough to act as serving trays...even if that's just for yourself after preparing a fancy-looking dish for one.
18. A clip-on strainer that's one of those kitchen gadgets you wonder whether you really need — until you try it and realize, YES, you absolutely do! This strainer easily clips onto a pot, doesn't take up as much storage space as a traditional strainer, and makes draining water so much faster and easier. Yep, need.
19. A mini waffle maker so you can whip up a diner-worthy breakfast any day you want. It's easy to use, heats up quickly and makes the cutest mini waffles you've ever seen.
20. A jar of deliciously buttery and creamy all-natural sea salt caramels that you may want to hide from everyone you live with, lest they ~mysteriously vanish~. I see many an afternoon treat coming your way.
21. A Perfect Pot that's well named — it really does everything, from boiling and baking to crisping and steaming. Plus, it has a built-in spoon rest, is compatible with all cooktops, and is even oven-safe. Now when you have to get creative with whatever's in your pantry, this bb will be ready to help.
22. A 6-quart programmable slow cooker for days when you don't feel like spending hours in the kitchen, but still want a scrumptious, simmered home-cooked meal. Throw everything in the slow cooker and literally forget about it for, like, half a day, until your dinner is magically done.
23. A set of 12 leakproof glass storage containers to store all the leftovers from the delicious meals you've been whipping up. They're freezer- and dishwasher-safe, and the glass parts can go directly into the oven, so when it's time to heat up leftovers, you have one less dish to wash.
24. A bottle of black truffle hot sauce that every truffle lover out there will love. The next time you can't bring yourself to having yet another homemade sandwich for lunch and are close to just skipping the meal, consider this your easy upgrade.
25. An air fryer so you can finally jump on the bandwagon with everyone else. No, it's not just a fad, it really is THAT good! Skip your takeout wings and make a healthier (but just as delicious) version in this amazing little appliance.
26. An extra-wide slot toaster to make the perfectly toasted bagel in the morning. It has seven different settings so you know you can toast it juuuust the way you want.
27. A pack of eight overnight oat breakfast shake mixes that you can mix up the night before, so you can grab an energizing shake even if you're running out the door. Thanks to its 22 grams of protein, you'll feel energized all day long.
28. A set of three stoneware dip bowls with a wavy color blocked design that will make late night snacking on chips and dip so much classier.
29. A variety pack of six ready-to-eat daal meals that are like a gourmet meal in a pouch. Packed with flavor, filling, and nutritious, these are so easy to heat up and eat when you're in a hurry.
30. A 12-pack of reusable sandwich and snack bags so you can pack up some goodies to throw in your bag and hold you over during that afternoon slump. They're easy to clean, seal tight and they're good for the environment. Win win win! 🏆
31. A Magic Bullet single-serve blender to make healthy smoothies at home within minutes, instead of waiting in line and paying a small fortune for one at the smoothie shop down the street. Make a week of smoothies and this blender will pay for itself!
