Kitchen Essentials
Every tool from the cookbook’s starter kit. Smaller portions, more protein, less fuss.
Kitchen Scale
Portions changed on a GLP-1. The scale is how I relearned what a serving actually is. Grams don’t argue.
View on AmazonFullstar Pro Vegetable Chopper & Spiralizer (2-in-1)
This UltraChop gadget is an essential in my kitchen. Perfect for slicing, dicing, and spiralizing!
View on AmazonSmoothie Blender
This works great for everyday use. I love the smaller one for making fresh dressings.
View on AmazonElectric Shredder
I’m always trying to make getting in vegetables as easy as possible. Also good for grating cheese, to avoid pre-grated extras like cellulose that can run higher than necessary in some cheeses.
View on AmazonMeat Thermometer
There are much fancier ones with apps and multiple thermometers, but this one is reliable and easy to use.
View on AmazonRamekins with Lids (6 oz, Set of 4)
I love ramekins, you can cook in them. These even have lids.
View on AmazonFancy Ramekins
For when I want to be fancy and make a healthy dessert, or eat hummus and carrots with pizzazz.
View on AmazonSmall Nonstick Pan (8-inch)
Right-sized for smaller appetites: two eggs or one salmon fillet, not a giant pan half empty.
View on AmazonCast Iron Skillet
Cooking in cast iron is different than other nonstick pans, but it’s a good pan that’s healthier for your body.
View on AmazonBamboo Cutting Boards
Bamboo cutting boards with a liquid collection inlet. Big enough to prep a whole meal without playing vegetable Tetris.
View on AmazonRimmed Sheet Pan Set
Affordable non-toxic rimmed sheet pans. I use these every day. The rim keeps my oven clean and the different sizes cover different things.
View on AmazonFine Mesh Strainers
I use each of these all the time for different things: rice, quinoa, pasta, beans, and bathtub items that shouldn’t be in there, like hairs or spiders.
View on AmazonPre-Cut Parchment Paper
Great for quick cleanup. Toss it on the pan, then toss on your messy food and pop it in the oven.
View on AmazonKITEISCAT Acacia Wooden Spoons (5-Piece Set)
In an ongoing effort to remove plastics from my life, I use these for lots of cooking. Love the pasta spoon.
View on AmazonMeal Prep & Storage
Cook once, eat twice. These are the containers that make the second meal actually happen.
Glass Meal Prep Containers
These are great to give you separate spaces to keep your items for lunch or dinner.
View on AmazonWide-Mouth Mason Jars
I use these for storage, chia pudding, overnight oats. I like to be able to see what’s in the fridge.
View on AmazonHydration & Tracking
Water first, especially on a GLP-1. These are the simple tools that keep me honest about it.
Glass Water Bottle
I like being able to see my water to know how much I drink, and only glass to reduce plastics where I can.
View on AmazonGlass Water Bottles (Set)
I use three of these for my total daily water: one with lemon, one with tea, one just water. Sometimes a splash of raw cranberry juice for a healthy urinary tract.
View on AmazonHealthy 35+ Body
Everyday body care picks with simpler ingredient lists that still actually work.
Aluminum-Free Deodorant (Coconut & Vanilla)
Coconut & vanilla scent with 72-hour odor control. These deodorants are great for anyone! No aluminum.
View on AmazonAmLactin Firming Neck Cream
In my 40s I started getting that crepey neck. Found this on a Reddit recommendation and it makes a difference. It smells clinical, so I mix it with Native lotion in a scent I like.
View on AmazonAmLactin Body Lotion
I use this one all over my body for crepey skin, mixed with Native lotion.
View on AmazonNative Body Lotion (Lavender / Coconut)
Love this light and creamy lotion for everyday use. The Lavender and the Coconut are my favorites.
View on Amazon24-Hour Lipstick
Lipstick that stays on for real, for 24 hours. I go to the gym the next morning with lipstick on… not because I put any on.
