These are a few of my favorite things ♫… OK, I can’t sing but you get the idea. My sister and I were playing the piano together this weekend and started singing the songs. She literally heaved over in laughter and couldn’t continue playing, because my singing was so bad. I was having a good laugh myself at her singing, she just couldn’t hear herself! 😉 Needless to say, singing is a talent our family simply wasn’t blessed with.

Gray Crocheted Scarf from DiddleyDooCrochet
I just love these fashionable scarves that keep me warm in the cold Minnesota winters. It was zero degrees Fahrenheit yesterday, ZERO! A girl needs a nice scarf with weather like that!
Microplane Zester/Grater
This is one of my all-time favorite kitchen gadgets. This thing zests an orange in no time and you don’t have to slave over an old, dull box grater. You NEED one of these in your life if you use a grater or zester often and it would make a perfect stocking stuffer for the cook in your life.
Paper Baking Cups
Maybe I am the only one, but when I see a recipe made in a muffin tin, I pass it up because I absolutely HATE cleaning muffin tins. So, when I discovered these paper baking cups a few years ago, they were a lifesaver! Line them up on a normal baking sheet, fill them up and bake your favorite muffin or cupcake. They hold their shape so there is no need for those hard to clean muffin tins.
Custom Camera Strap
I can’t stand toting around my camera with a big advertisement for Nikon around my neck. I recently started making my own camera straps and thought I would whip one up just for you guys! It is durable, fashionable and most importantly comfortable with the microfiber lined backing.
Sharpie Accent Retractable Highlighter
Whether you are working on your taxes, schoolwork or your day planner, these retractable highlighters will make your work more colorful.
Chop 2 Pot Plus Cutting Board
I discovered these cutting boards a few years ago and was instantly hooked. Instead of transferring your cut fruits and veggies across the kitchen to the stove, you can chop everything up and easily transport and dump everything into your pan with the unique fold-able design. No more veggies sprinkled across your kitchen floor!

Ghirardelli Chocolate Gourmet Milk Bar, Sea Salt & Almonds
I am a chocolate addict through and through. I love chocolate, but not a boring Hershey bar, I love GOOD chocolate. After spending a year in Germany and enjoying all of their amazing chocolate, I was hooked. This chocolate bar with sea salt and almonds is the perfect pairing of sweet and salty!

My favorite kitchen gadget is my KitchenAid hand mixer. I use it a lot more than I use the stand mixer, and it does a great job. Plus, it’s red! And my thoughtful spouse gave it to me. Love it!
Kelly says
One of my favorite gadgets is my food mill. It takes my apples and forms them into apple sauce, or my tomatoes in to tomato sauce. We do a lot of canning and the mill has been a HUGE time saver. 🙂
