Kitchen Essentials

Whether clean eating is important to you or you just love to cook, there are some tools that make things easier!  Today, I'm sharing some of my favorite kitchen essentials with you. 

My absolute favorite piece is my KitchenAid Mixer in green apple!  I love having this out on my kitchen island for a fun pop of color - and I use it several times a week so it is a permanent fixture on the counter top!

This is my newest obsession - my Breville Sous Chef food processor!  It is amazing!

It was a Christmas gift last year and a total surprise!  I may or may not have cried when I opened it! It literally can do everything!  It comes with a tool kit of different blades as well as a mini processor bowl.  I use it to make doughs, zucchini noodles, sweet potato fries, bread, shred vegetables, make Paleo mayonnaise, etc.

I cannot say enough good things about Danielle Walker!  Her recipes have inspired me to continue a Paleo lifestyle long after I finished my Whole30!  She has a true talent with cooking and her website and cookbooks are truly essential!

PaleOMG is another great resource for Paleo recipes and advice.  Juli Bauer has 2 cookbooks but this one is my favorite!

PaleOMG - The Paleo Kitchen

If you are interested in beginning a Paleo lifestyle and really clean up your diet, I suggest starting with the Whole30 program.  Here is the book written by the creators, Dallas and Melissa Hartwig, It Starts With Food.

A must-read for taking on the Whole30 challenge!


I hope that some of this has been helpful to you!  I would love to know what you consider to be your kitchen essentials!  Let me know!!

I'm off to plan my Thanksgiving menu!  Have a great night!

Welcome!

Hello!  My name is Kalee and welcome to my little blog!

I have always loved cooking and being in the kitchen.  Earlier this year, I dramatically changed the way I cook and eat.  I started living a Paleo lifestyle.  I began this journey with the Whole30 program.  It was an intense introduction to this new way of life and I loved it!  It was such a great way to eliminate damaging foods from my diet and truly learn how my body reacts to certain ingredients.

During this time, I also found an amazing resource that has helped me continue this way of life beyond those first 30 days.  Against All Grain is a wonderful website with delicious grain-free and Paleo recipes.  Danielle Walker has been such an inspiration for me!  Check out her blog for yourself!  You will be so happy you did!

So excited to meet Danielle Walker at her book signing in Nashville!

So, my goal with this blog is to share with you what's on my plate.  I can honestly say that I've never had more fun in my kitchen and I hope you enjoy, too!
