Welcome to My Kitchen Toolshed!

If you’ve ever wondered what I actually use in my kitchen day to day – this is the spot. No fluff, no fancy gadgets collecting dust in a drawer somewhere. Just the tried-and-true tools I reach for whether I’m whipping up a weeknight pasta, simmering a pot of soup, or testing out yet another new recipe that may or may not involve butter (spoiler: it usually does).

These are the pans, knives, spoons, gadgets, and gear that have earned their place on my counter, in my drawers, and yes… in my heart. Some are shiny and new, some are a little worn and well-loved (I see you, wooden spoon with the burn mark), but all of them are essential to how I cook and create.

Whether you’re stocking your first kitchen, replacing a few old favorites, or just curious about what’s behind the scenes of my blog recipes – I’m so glad you’re here.
