I wouldn’t say I’m a foodie, but I do enjoy a yummy meal and love to get in the kitchen and get my hands dirty! Baking is normally where I feel the most comfortable, but lately I have getting a bit more adventurous with my cooking. I even took a pasta and bread making class this week and had a blast! Here are some of my favorite finds for the foodie and or cook on your holiday gift list!
No. 1 How stunning are these ceramic nesting bowlsKitchen space tends to get tight and I love anything that nests to help with space. I have a set of vintage nesting bowls, which get used on a daily basis. If I was gifted these handmade rainbow beauties I would treasure them forever.
No. 2 Have a family recipe that is always a crowd favorite? Why not get in printed on a dish towel and gift it with some of the ingredients or some kitchen utensils.
No. 3 Loving these simple syrups that will help up your drinking game. These are are all lemonade based, which is not really a classic winter drink, but this red sangria version would be festive for the holidays.
No. 4 I think serving utensils are always a great gift. It’s something I always tend to forget to buy for myself. So, I always love when I get them as a gift. Loving this set of gold toned salad utensils for only $25!
No. 5 How cool is this salt block!!! You can place it on your stove top and cook meat, chicken, fish, etc on top of it for added flavor!
No. 6 Sur La Table has the best assortment of foodie ornaments like this copper saucier ornament. Add it to your Christmas wrapping with a pretty ribbon!
No. 7 So, the pink cover of this cookbook is originally what caught my eye, but then I opened it and saw that it features 100 recipes and stories from girl power chefs, bakers, stylists, and creatives! It would make for a great gift!
No. 8 Instead of flowers why not gift a bouquet of bamboo utensils and wrap it in a pretty dish towel or two!
No. 9 I have been on a big kick of oil and vinegar salad dressing. It’s so simple yet yummy and really dresses up my plain old romaine lettuce. Loving this olive oil and vinegar set, which looks like handmade pottery, but is actually Martha Stewart and only $15!
No. 10 Who needs Tupperware when you can have chic glass food storage containers from Kate Spade! Love these because I would never treat myself to them, but I would love them as a gift!
No. 11 I’m sure this extra virgin olive oil is amazing, but I’m not going to lie I purely want this for the bottle. Is it not the prettiest thing you have ever seen!
No. 12 Everybody loves a little DIY project. At least I hope they do! For the foodie in your life I’m really enjoying these DIY cheese kits. I mean how cool would it be to make your own cheese!
No. 13 A couple of months ago I stumbled upon an infomercial for the Veggie Ninja and I was hooked. I sat there for an hour watching them make everything under the sun and telling Jon and the boys all over the super cool machine I had just watched. I think it’s a must for a kitchen especially with the big spiralizing trend!
Now fill those tummies and get to shopping!
My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
In our new home, the basement was completely unfinished. It was literally one of those dark spaces that you see in horror movies and are terrified of getting locked into. However, with the square footage in this house, I knew I needed to make the basement another workable and liveable floor of the house instead […]
What to look for when it comes to picking out kitchen appliances: Leave room in your budget for appliances. When it comes to kitchen renovations everyone knows that the cabinetry and the labor of demoing and installing cabinetry is going to eat a lot of your budget. However, the second most expensive part of a […]
I don’t think I’m alone in thinking that designing a kitchen is an overwhelming undertaking. I’m an interior designer and even I find it stressful to iron out all of those details. So, when it comes time to design a kitchen I always like to partner with a kitchen designer to make sure I’m remembering […]
