My favorite kichen appliances

I try to be a minimalist. Where I feel I fall short in that area is my kitchen. When we bought our house 4 years ago, I new I was making a comprimise on the kitchen size. We choose a larger living space instead of a larger kitchen, there making it impossible to own every kitchen gadget!! I had to downsize a bit and keep only those kitchen appliances that I really utilized!

1. My Kitchen Aid Mixer. I couldn't live with out this! Heaven help me if it ever breaks down, I seriously couldn't get along with out it!
2. I love my food processor!! I liked it before having a baby, but I like it even more now that I have a kid! It makes baby food with ease, and saves lots of prep time cutting vegetables and we all know as moms we need all the help we can get!
3. I have a wonderful electric griddle. It folds up and the top comes off and can be placed in the dishwasher. The folding feature makes it a space saver, and the dishwasher safe griddle plates makes clean up a breeze! I use it to make quesidillas, cheesesteak sandwhiches and lots of yummy breakfast items. I hate making one pancake at a time. I can cook at least 4 at a time with my griddle!
4. My rice cooker. I can see how most people can live without a rice cooker. My husband puts it best when he says I should have been born Asian, because I could eat rice every day! We probably have rice with dinner at least 4 times a week. It is a breeze to just put the rice in the rice cooker and go! No worries about it burning on the bottom, or the rice to water ratio. The rice cooker does it all for me!!!
