Thanksgiving Kitchen Essentials

Now that November is here, I am counting down the days to Thanksgiving. It is my absolute favorite holiday, good food, family, and everything just feels cozy. At least, that how it feels for me. I know some people are running around trying to get everything done, have the food ready on time and trying to beat the crowds in the store. I will say the crowds are the only thing that turn me off, but no fear! I have found a list of Kitchen Essentials that will save you time away from the stores and the crowds!

First and Foremost, the main component of Thanksgiving, is the Turkey, traditionally speaking that is. I have found 2 ways to cook your turkey and free up your oven for all your other food, getting it all done faster so you can finally sit and relax.

First is the Nesco Turkey Roaster. Nesco claims it is the easiest and fastest way to cook not only turkey, but chicken, roast and other meats. It is oil free and claims to cook an 18 pound turkey in just 2 hours! How does it do that you may ask? The infrared heating elements cook the turkey evenly by maintaining the moisture on the inside, while cooking the outside evenly. The center heating elements cooks your turkey from the inside out. Combined with the outer heating elements, the Nesco Turkey Roaster is faster than a conventional oven.

For those that have more to feed and need/want a bigger turkey, the Oster Roaster Oven is perfect for you! It can hold up to a 26 pound turkey. While it doesn’t cook the turkey in 2 hours like the Nesco, it is still super convenient as it saves you room in your oven for your other food. Not only saving oven space, you can easily simmer a delicious gravy right in the roaster oven pan without hassle. There’s no mess and you keep stove top burners free for other cooking. The last main benefit is that your turkey will be cooked perfectly, tender and moist with the Oster Self-Basting feature.

We all know how many left overs we have after everyone has ate. I personally don’t like getting stuck with all the food. I just don’t have enough room in my fridge and my family just can’t eat all the food fast enough. Sure you can freeze some, but it’s not the same. I found these cute To-Go containers for your Thanksgiving food left overs to give to guests. This set comes with 6 containers with lids and 5 foldable boxes.

This item is perfect for multiple uses. It is the Estilo 3 Tier Baking and Cooling Rack. This rack is meant to hold 3 heavy casserole dishes. You can use it in your oven to cook 3 dishes at once or you can have it set to cool the dishes as the come out of the oven. This saves not only time but space. It collapses flat, making it easy to store when you aren’t using it.

This Electric Knife is an essential when it comes to carving the turkey. It is great for right and left handers. It has a stainless steel blade and works great as well for cutting through vegetables and bread as well. The blade is removable and dishwasher safe.

Have perfectly cooked food with this Therm Pro! It is the ideal thermometer for meat, the oven, smoker and stove top. There are preset meat temps, that can be adjusted to your desired taste, and alarm and countdown timer so you know when your food has reached your desired temp.

What’s Inside?

If you didn’t read my post on my traveling essentials you can CLICK HERE to view that post.

Traveling essentials

If you did read my traveling essentials post, you will remember I HIGHLY recommend this suitcase when it comes to packing for a baby/toddler, or even for a quick trip.

My family and I are planning a beach trip in November, in celebration and my husband and I’s 4th anniversary. Now, you might be thinking, the beach in November? But let me tell you, it’s perfect. You basically have the beach to yourself and where we go, pretty much the whole town. You don’t have to drive miles to find a spot not TOO close to someone else. I am not big about getting into the ocean to swim, but I love the sound, the view and the peace the beach brings, so November is perfect for us.

This will be my son’s first time going to the beach, but he has been on other trips with us. I used to go from majorly over packing, to still over packing, but not as bad. I have come up with a list of what I usually bring when I go on a trip with my son.

Clothes

Now, this is a very obvious answer. But I pack based on how long I will be gone, the activities we will be doing, etc. When we go to the beach in November, will we will be gone a total of 3 days, 2 nights. I will be going based off of this and you can adjust how you pack based on the days you will be gone.

Since it will be November when we go, I’ll have 3 long sleeves packed along with a short sleeve shirt just in case there’s a day that isn’t very cold. I will also pack 1 light jacket to either go on top of the short sleeve in case it gets a little chilly, or in case it’s too cold for just the long sleeve. You can’t go wrong with bringing a light jacket anyways, going into stores and restaurants is a great example of places that tend to be a bit colder than necessary. Having a nice rash guard is essential when it comes to the beach, weather it be for being protected from the sun or washing the sand off.

When it comes to pants, it can be a bit tricky. There’s going to be sand, which can be a pain to get out of clothes and everywhere else. Jeans and sweat pants are a type of pants that a highly recommend staying away from at the beach. I would back 1 pair of jeans just for going out to eat and having something nice to wear. At the beach, wind breaker type pants or active pants would be the best bet to bring as the sand can slide off easier and they’re easier to just wash off if sand does get on them.

My Clothing List would go as followed:

Long Sleeve Shirt (3)
Rash Guard (1)
Short Sleeve (1)
Dress Shirt (1)
Light Jacket (1)
Active Pants (2)
Jeans (1)
Training Underwear (6)
Swim Suit (2)
Pajamas (2)
Water Shoes (1)
Tennis Shoes/Dress Shoes (1)

This list also allows me to have an extra outfit for anything that may come up. With little one’s you know either something gets dirty, they might REFUSE to wear a certain shirt or the occasion doesn’t fit for a certain outfit you originally planned. ALWAYS. BE. PREPARED. All of these items fit easily into the main suitcase, with room to add in diapers/water diapers/pull ups, whatever it is that you use.

Toiletries/Extras

In the smaller bag that comes with the suitcase set, I have found it to be the perfect size for fitting diapers and wipes, toiletry items and anything extra I don’t want to fit in with my clothes.

This bag would be filled as followed:

Pull Up’s
Wipes
Sun Screen
Tooth Brush
Tooth Paste
Body Wash
Shampoo
Brush

A great tip to use when packing toiletry items such as shampoo, condition, etc is to use the travel sized items and put them in a zipbloc bag. If you have a travel in baby items, a bag for breast milk storage has come in handy for making sure these items don’t spill or leak.

As always, thank you for reading, I hope this comes in handy or you at least enjoyed reading. Comment below some of you must have items you pack. Don’t forget to hit the follow button on the right side of the screen so you can keep up with future posts.

Traveling With Toddlers Essentials

Every year in the fall, my husband, son and I go on a mini family vacation. This really started with my husband and I’s honeymoon and anniversaries through the years, but now with a little one, it has turned into our yearly family vacation. Now, we don’t go on mini trips, as I said we take one family vacation yearly, and then any trips I might go on with my mom and step dad, but what travels I have gone on, I have come up with a list of all my essentials that have made traveling with a little one a lot easier.

Suitcase

Obviously you need luggage of some sort when it comes to traveling. I absolutely hate having a lot of bags to take with us and having bulky luggage as well. Now, I am guilty of over-packing. I pack as if we’re going to be gone for weeks, but that’s probably because I do all the packing so I don’t know exactly what everyone is going to want to wear, so a lot of choices go into the bags.

In the past we have done that 10 bags, basically a bag for EVERYTHING. You would think we were moving out. But I have now narrowed it down to:

1 big suitcase for me and my husband.

1 small suitcase for my son

1 small tote for diapers and wipes

1 small bag for toiletries

For my son I have found the PERFECT bag combo that has worked really well for us and his items.

It comes in one size, but it is the perfect size for little one’s clothes, plus it comes with a small bag that you can fit diapers and wipes in. Or if you’re out of the diaper phase, you can use it as your toiletries bag. This suitcase comes in a variety of colors and patterns, ranging from many different solid colors to animal prints, you’re bound to find one you love! I will be writing a post of what I pack in the future, so keep an eye out for that.

Sound Machine

This one is a must for us, traveling or at home. From the day we brought my son home, we have used the white noise sound to get him to sleep and stay asleep. And the great thing is how small and portable it is. Staying somewhere new always makes it harder to get your little ones to sleep, unless you’re used to traveling regularly….or just have a great sleeper.

I have found that taking the sound machine with us helps with getting him to sleep in a new environment as the sound is familiar to being at home. This sound machine comes with 7 different sounds, you can adjust the volume, set a time, as well as having a port for charging your phone. (One less item to have to remember to pack and bring back home, a plus in my opinion)

Portable DVD Player + Mount

This is my newest addition to my must have list. We do all of our traveling by car so having movies to watch is important to making it smooth and melt down free. A Portable DVD player is the perfect travel addition. Just bring your child’s favorite movies, or shows, (you know the ones that they want to watch over and over, bring those.) and you’ll not only have a quiet trip, but they’ll enjoy it too.

The most important part of bringing a Portable DVD Player would be the mount to hold it up with in the car. I personally don’t want my son holding the DVD Player while we drive, as I know it’ll either be thrown down, fall, and just break in general. Nor do I want to hold it the whole ride. I have found this mount that works perfectly for this DVD Player style. It keeps everything hands free and perfect eye level for watching.

Portable Crib

This is a staple for staying in a hotel, tent, home, etc. I like to take a portable crib with me not only to ensure there’s a safe place for my child to sleep, but it’s perfect for allowing them to play in a space you know they can’t get into anything or get hurt. This one specifically comes with a mattress to make it better for your child to sleep better and more comfortable. Other pack n plays have to buy a mattress separate, making the cost much more expensive for a temporary sleeping space.

These are my top 5 must haves when it comes to traveling with a baby/toddler. I hope these can come as some use to you and make your travels as easy as I have found mine to become.

Equipment For The Home

I am a huge supporter of those who choose to work out at home versus going to the gym. I, myself, like going to the gym, but I can’t always find the time. For me it is much easier to just get in a 30 minute work out while I can during the day versus having to make a drive and spend AT LEAST an hour and a half of my day going to the gym. When you’re busy and have a toddler like I do, or just have a busy life anyways, that extra hour of going to the gym just can’t happen sometimes.

That is why I have come up with a list of my top 5 recommendations for equipment that is good to have at the house, without taking up a lot of room.
