For the Love of Lists: Kitchen Must Haves

Hi All!  Happy Friday!  I'm coming to you with a very exciting For the Love of Lists!  I asked Anika, my favorite holistic chef to give me her list of kitchen must haves for every home.  After reading through her list I was super proud that I have (and use) most of these things in my kitchen but it did leave me wanting for a shopping spree!

The ideal kitchen would have:

OILS:

olive oil
grapeseed oil

Food processor
Blender (glass recommended)
Immersion blender

fennel
garam masala
Himalayan sea salt
mustard seed
nutmeg
nutritional yeast
rosemary
sage
turmeric
thyme
FRESH:
garlic, at all times
onions, at all times
POTS/PANS
at least one cast iron pan
wooden and stainless steel stirring spoons/spatulas
stainless steal pots and pans
small pan (cast iron or stainless steel for toasting seeds/nuts)
at least one stock pot

ACCESSORIES:
Cookie sheets
Measuring spoons
Measuring cup(s)
various sized mixing bowls
wire wisk
can opener (you'd be surprised)

good lighting, good vibes, and me =)

So how about you... what are you looking forward to adding to your kitchen?  If you have any questions on what something is for or how it would best be used leave it in the comments.  

Have a terrific weekend!
Lacy!
