You know it's funny that we often forget to think about the little things in life that matter, don't we? These little things could be, well, just about anything! Over the Thanksgiving holiday I was so blessed to be able to visit my daughter and her husband for their first big bash holiday dinner. I am so glad that she trusts me and my husband to join her in the kitchen to help her along the way.
However, come to find out that my foodie-to-be, Bon Appetit reader, future gourmand daughter of mine does not have a very well-equipped kitchen!! H-m-m-m-m! She's still more interested in finding her money-saving fashion finds...... how I remember those days!
So I decided that I needed to give her a little assistance in preparing her kitchen. I am going to start this list and hope that you or anyone will add to it. I'll keep editing this list as time goes on. But here's a nice start (beginning with what my daughter does not have in her kitchen)!
