A Good Kitchen is a Well Stocked Kitchen
Below are items that I always try to keep in my kitchen in no particular order and obviously it may vary based on whether my kitchen is my car or a full home's kitchen. I'm always fascinated (and sometimes inspired!) by the lists other folks make about what they can't live without when cooking, so I wanted to put one together for me! (Also because I am *not* currenly working out of a full kitchen space and would like to remember everything I keep stocked whenever I have access to the whole kit and caboodle again.)
As a note, anything linked is just because I think it's a good product! I'm not selling anything, I just really love food, lol.
