These are a few of my favorite things…Or what Lauren needs…

I love a good meal in a bowl…These are my absolute favorite bowls! The only thing I don’t recommend serving from them is ice cream, because that would just be ridiculous.

Crate and Barrel’s 8″ Bistro Bowls are my FAVORITE!

Truly the only pan you will ever need, it will never let you down. If something turns out poorly, it’s because you haven’t be taking proper care of your baby.

My preference, is, of course 10″. You can fit 3 steaks, you can roast 2 lbs of potatoes or 3 heads of cauliflower. This is your work horse. I am also partial to the baby cast iron, because it’s perfect for eggs and, obviously adorable.

GET A COVER, YOU WON’T REGRET IT!

And no soap, you fool!

I am in love with my Martha Stewart Cast Iron Pot. I spend a lot of time imagining what I’ll use it for next… Mmmmm brisket…

Le Creuset ANYTHING Yes, the Le Creuset is beautiful and classic and will likely last forever. I would like to have one some day. However I just can’t spend the price of a round trip plane ticket on a pot which I will make Sloppy Joe’s in. But if you have $400 laying around, go for it!

All knives are NOT created equal! A wise man once told me “why buy 5″ when you can have 7”? I couldn’t agree more. This is my go to, most favorite knife. A good knife is like a good pair of jeans, sure you have multiple types and styles, but you always have a favorite.
