My favorite kitchen electric would have to be the timeless Classic KitchenAid Stand Mixer (approx. $199.99). As the season of baking approaches, the KitchenAid mixer will help transform my kitchen into an efficently run bakery. The time I shave off my prepping time allows me time to tend to the thousand other tasks that await. Cookies and breads have never mixed as effortlessly. This is hands down my favorite kitchen tool!

The one item I use daily is the Bambu Soy Kitchen Candle (cost $14.25). Odors disappear with this ultra-clean scented candle. It burns clean, leaving no soot marks on the walls. Lingering odors from strong smelling foods, including onions and garlic, disappear. This item is my new favorite find.
