A Foodie’s Holiday Gift Guide

I love reading through food blogs, cook books & food magazines… taking mental notes on the delicious recipes I find. I love to cook & bake as much as I love to eat. Being a dork + foodie (self-proclaimed) makes me a doodie? or forkie? for food gizmos and gadgets!

See my suggestions for a doodie/forkie holiday gifts….

Cuisinart Mini-Prep 4-Cup food Processor

I have both a larger and mini food processor, but find that I use my mini food processor more…it’s great for chopping up things (onions, carrots, celery, etc.) and making smooth sauces. It’s compact size won’t take up too much space and allows for easy storage.

Lemon Squeezer

A friend bought me a lemon squeezer a few years back as a gift from her trip to Mexico, I had never seen/heard or used one before and was a little skeptical. Why would anyone spend money on a contraption for squeezing a lemon or lime, when you can easily squeeze with your hands…well boy was I wrong! This kitchen tool is an essential. You will get the most out of your lemons & limes with little effort & catch seeds!

Deep Fryer

Does this one even need an explanation? Anything fried is anything good!

Waffle Maker

There’s nothing like fresh waffles in the morning…so a waffle maker is an essential for any household! I like the ones that rotate, they’re just so much more fun to use!

Ice Cream Maker

If you’ve never had homemade ice cream, you are missing out big time. It’s like tasting ice cream for the first time. An ice cream maker makes making ice cream so easy!

Bodum Chambord Coffee Press

A French Coffee Press is a must…an absolute must for the coffee drinker! It makes coffee in the morning easy. In just a few minutes…you can enjoy fresh cup of coffee.

Electric Kettle

When you need hot water quickly (for your fresh coffee in your Bodum), an electric kettle is the way to go! I love this gadget, it heats water in a matter of minutes. This specific one (in picture) has a knob for temperature control for different boiling points.
