Instant Pot
I just bought one and it's amazing. I don't know how I lived without it. Been making soups and steaming vegetables in mass so I can meal prep. I'm still researching how I can use this to further my cooking ability.

Hot Logic Mini
Low key this is one of my best purchases of my life. Its a personal portable oven that heats up your food to the perfect temperature. I bought 6 different 6 cup Pyrex glass containers and cook, fill them, then refrigerate and take the hot logic to work and plug it up. It heats up the food and when it's lunch time I have a warm home cooked meal ready to eat. It's almost paid for itself and I just bought it this week.

Ninja Foodi Grill
I use this to air fry stuff and grill my chicken. I usually make 4-8 oz pieces of grilled chicken breast to pair with steamed veggies like broccoli or green beans and I'll air fry some potatoes for the starch.

Vitamix
I have one but seldom use it. I used to use it to make soup and heat them but the Instant Pot took that role.Since I spent to much on this I'm gonna look into what I can do with it to make it worth keeping.

you need to put lighter liquids in first so they hit the bottom of the pot. if you have heavier sauce (like tomato) you'll get the burn notice

Wow. Didn't even know this was a thing. I've extensively used my instant pot, never seen or knew there was a burn notice.

picked up a Ninja Foodi last week. Got some NY strip steaks on deck for tonight.

Scale, measuring cups, steamer, gas grill (outdoor) made grilling up a batch of chicken for salads a breeze.

So are you liking the ninja foodie grill? How close is the taste to grilled foods?


I have a vitamix and love it, I'm a big smoothie guy (used to waste hella money at smoothie king), so the vitamix pretty much does everything I want as far as doing smoothies/fruit bowls. Also is pretty good if you want to make your own salsas. Not brave enough to try doing nut butters yet though.


I will say having a food scale is big, especially when it comes to protein. If you're counting cals it's a must have IMO

My grilled chicken in it is very good. I also used the grill for some asparagus which was great. The air fryer gets the most use from me.
