The 10 Best Cookbooks for Meals for Two
Trying to do meal planning when you live with just one other person can be difficult. I ought to know, because I currently live as a "family of two" with my partner. Prior to that, I was flying solo and often struggled with meal planning as a result.

10 Cookbooks for Anime Geeks
Geek culture is absolutely, positively massive. It's an umbrella that holds subcultures like furries, comic book readers, gamers, and, yes, also anime geeks. Out of all the little subcultures geekdom has birthed, few have the natural inclination to add cooking to their culture like anime geeks do.

Cooking Gadgets You Didn't Know You Needed
I love cooking. I love the feeling of taking separate items and making a meal to feed to others, the warm feeling of knowing I have taken care of family and friends, and the act in itself calms me. As I have grown as a cook I have come across several items on Amazon that have been amazing in prep and cook times. Some may not be needed, but they sure are handy! In addition, all of these items are under $10, making them easily accessible by everyone and within a reasonable price range. These would be fantastic for the cook in your life as affordable gifts with the holiday season rapidly approaching. I will post links to some of these. However, these are not affiliate links and I will receive no compensation from the sale of these. I’m simply one cook showcasing items I love to others who share my passion, or know others who do.

10 Cute Aprons for Your Favorite Home Chef
Cooking and baking can be fun, but cleaning up generally isn't quite so enjoyable—especially when making a huge mess is a common cooking mistake you should avoid. That's why we have aprons. It's, usually, no fun to just cover yourself up with a big sheet of boring old cloth. That's why every home chef should have one—or more—of these pretty aprons to brighten and liven up their time in the kitchen. They make great gifts for any occasion, and can make the difference between feeling like cooking is a chore, and having a blast in the kitchen.

10 Kitchen Cleaning Tools You Need to Have
As someone who enjoys cooking as a hobby, I can't overstate the value of a clean kitchen. Whether you have a small, barely functional kitchen (like I do!) or a large, decked-out kitchen with up-to-date appliances, your efficiency and enjoyment of cooking is infinitely greater when dealing with a spick and span cooking area. The benefits of a clean kitchen reach beyond making cooking easier, of course. A well-cleaned kitchen is much more sanitary, and reduces your risk of attracting pests like ants or other bugs. The kitchen is the heart of many homes, so you owe it to yourself and your family to keep it well-maintained. These are the best kitchen cleaning tools to cut down on the time and effort you have to spend to keep your kitchen clean.

10 Top Quality Knives for the Skilled Fisherman
Not having the proper knife to fillet a fish can cause a lot of unnecessary frustration. Attempting to fillet a fish with a dull blade makes it very difficult to remove scales and skin. Just as you won’t catch a fish without bait and a rod, fish and other foods are best prepared using a knife specifically for that purpose. Not all knives are created equal. A beautiful looking knife may not hold up in the kitchen, so you have to recognize different kinds of knives.

Sun Basket
Right now there are a lot of meal subscription services out there. Some send you ingredients and you have to cook a meal, others send a pre-packaged meal that's as easy as heating and serving. My boyfriend and I decided to try Sun Basket. After all the fantastic reviews, we were really looking forward to our first basket.

Five Reasons Why You Should Have an Air Fryer in Your Kitchen
So, have you ever heard of an air fryer? I know there are still people out there that have never heard of this kitchen appliance before. You see them on TV, you hear about them on the radio and you even see them on the internet for sale online at various storefronts. I actually received one last year as a Christmas gift from my youngest son and I LOVE it!

Best Glass Storage Containers That Are Microwave-, Dishwasher-, & Freezer-Safe
Tupperware parties might have taken over the 1950s, but that doesn't mean that plastic storage containers are king. If you ask any serious cook, they will tell you that it's all about glass.

Caffe Nero’s Caramel & Pistachio Frappuccino
I love teas and coffees, both hot and cold and I'm always open-minded to trying out new flavours and drinks whenever they're released. Sometimes I discover something I really love and it becomes an all-time favourite, whilst others make me gag and never want to try them again.
