 Kitchen Tools I Love:

Blendtec

After breaking 3 blenders in 10 years, we decided to get Blendtec. We love it so far. Very powerful and has 8 years warranty.

We recently replace our cheap juicer with this one. This juicer extracts more juice, takes less space, quieter, and easier to clean.


Cuisinart Pots and Pans

We are slowly replacing our old pots & pans with Stainless Steel ones.

We recently replaced our slow cooker and pressure cooker with this guy. Love the fact that we can get a good broth in an hour or two.
