These are a few (more) of my favourite things

I am one year into home ownership and 34 years away from being mortgage free. Yay me. The bright side? Many years of finding favourite things to fill up my place. Finally, some more things to add to the list!

Cuisinart Coffee Plus™ 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker with Hot Water System

This is perfect for my 8 inches of kitchen counter space. I am always one for efficiency, so this does 2 jobs in one. No need to lug out a separate kettle when I feel like having a cuppa. No fancy functions, but I am particularly fond of the auto-brew option for coffee. I’m not a morning person. If I had my way, I'd start work at 11am. The timer helps with my morning wake up routine – just in time to run out the door. I highly recommend this for those who aren’t coffee or tea snobs (I really am not), and you’re desperate to save counter space.

Vildea Scrunge for Cooktop Stoves, plus any stove top cleansing lotion.


In case you haven’t guessed, I am not Nigella Lawson in the kitchen. Although I wish I could be - Nigella is pretty hot. I digress. So I make a lot of mess, not necessarily from all my sautéing and caramelizing. So this discovery is the greatest for the non-Nigellas of the world – well, it helps clean up the burns and stains from the stove. All that heating up take-out can get messy!

Fancy a cuppa? Wait, I have to clean off the stove first...

kisses,
