Must Have Kitchen Items

I have been living on my own for four and a half months and that means I have been cooking for myself. In this time I have found a few things that I would consider must haves. They have made my life more easy and my food delicious.

1) Crockpot- I love, love, love my Crockpot. I have made meat in it and a soup. It is nice being able to throw things in and let it cook up for several hours.

2) Knives- Invest in a set of knives and make sure you have a set. You will be cooking and realize you need more than one knife.

3) Cutting Board- Get yourself a good, big cutting board that you can use to prep food.

4) Tupperware- Cooking for one means I have leftovers. Get some good tupperware of different sizes and ones that are microwave safe. These will make your life even easier.

5) Measuring Cups- Even if you do not plan to cook a lot. You will eventually need to measure things that you are going to eat.

I think those would be my top five kitchen must-haves.
