Williams-Sonoma Goldtouch® Nonstick 15-Piece Bakeware Set

I can’t live without my Le Creuset Dutch Oven!
It is a must for making homemade soups and sauces.
I’ve tried other brands (cheaper), but they weren’t even close to the quality of my Le Creuset.
You can use this pot on the stove, in the oven or even on the grill.
PLUS it is dishwasher safe!

Hello, my name is Stephanie and I am a spatula addict!
I have a serious addiction to spatulas. I especially love Tovolo Spatulas.
They are THE BEST.
I have at least 100 spatulas. It drives Chicken Legs crazy!
I have every day spatulas and spatulas for every holiday season.
I swap them out depending on the time of year.
I use the regular sized ones for everything – cooking in the skillet, mixing cakes, cookies.
The small ones are fantastic for spreading butter, getting peanut butter and mayonnaise out of a jar.
LOVE these!

Engraved Rolling Pin
I’ve had these engraved rolling pin on my Christmas list for years, but no-one will get it for me!
They are handmade by a lady in Poland.
When you use the rolling pin on cookie dough, the shape is transferred to the dough.
SO FUN!
There are TONS of shapes to choose from.
I am DYING for one! If Chicken Legs doesn’t get me one this year, I’m buying it for myself.

A high-quality knife is a MUST in the kitchen.
Some people are scared of sharp knives, but a dull knife is one of the most hazardous tools in the kitchen.
This Wusthof Cook’s Knife is one of my favorites.
It is a great size. I use it to cut just about everything!

All-Clad Cookware
I get a lot of questions about what cookware I use.
I use All-Clad cookware. I have for over 10 years.
A good set of cookware is one of the best investments you can make in the kitchen.
I got my first set of All-Clad probably 13 years ago and it still amazing.
Last year, Chicken Legs got me this set for Christmas.
I wasn’t sure about the “weird” flat lids, but I LOVE them.
I gave my original set to my Mom and she can’t stop raving about how great it cooks.
LOVE this!

Do you have a treasured family recipe?
I found this shop on Etsy that will create a custom print of the recipe.
I ordered one and was shipped this week!
Can’t wait to get it.
I am going to frame it in my office.
I think it would be a great gift! You can order extra prints – one for you, one for someone else.
