AK Gift Guide 2015: For the Home Cook

I can’t believe gift guide number 6 is here! Another thing I can’t get over? The fact that my birthday is in 9 days. So far I have no major plans. Ideally, I’d love to just relax, stay off my computer, go ice skating and eat a really good dinner somewhere (probably Frontera Grill).

Anyway, today’s gift guide is focused around the home cook. Someone who loves to be in the kitchen, entertaining and cooking whenever they get the chance. It’s also for anyone who might need to acquire basic kitchen appliances like a food processor or a slow cooker.

These are all products I know and love so let’s get started!

1.) Crock-Pot Smart Wifi-Enabled Slow Cooker. A slow cooker with an app that allows you to adjust the temp and cooking time from your smartphone. I have this and LOVE it. $149

2.) Cuisinart Ice Cream/Frozen Yogurt Maker. If you don’t have an ice cream maker, then you need this in your life. Especially for the summer time. It will change ice cream forever for you. $90

3.) The Skinnytaste Cookbook: Light on Calories, Big on Flavor. I make recipes out of this book all the time. They’re reliable, healthy and absolutely delicious. HIGHLY recommend.
