This one took me quite a while to jump into, but once I did, I have never looked back!!!  Seriously… You can quickly and deliciously cook CHICKEN WINGS, RIBEYE STEAKS, PORKCHOPS and all the crisping bacon and veggies your heart desires with little effort and minimal cleanup. I call that some stupid easy YUMS!

Linked above is the best of the best, mid size air fryer with all the bells and whistles. Its basically the Instant Pot of the Air Fryer world and at a great price!

Now I will say you need to do your researce for what size you need. The BELLA I have in my own kitchen is a bit on the smaller size and my goal is to get an XL one ASAP! It does fit 2 large ribeyes perfectly or 3-4 smaller thighs, but if you want to get a bunch of meat cooked up for the family, make sure you get a bigger one

XL TOP PICKS

GREAT VALUE: Ultrean Air Fryer-4.2Qt (Under $70/great reviews)
BIGGEST SIZE: Big Boss Oil-Less Fryer 16Qt (Great price & HUGE!)

On the flip side, if kitchen space is an issue, they have some adorable compact versions that still get the job done and your meat cooked to perfection!  I am so serious… moist on the inside and the perfectly cooked crisp on the outside. OMG

This is by far my top used Kitchen item with the Instant Pot coming in at a close second.  I received this for my birthday a few years back and had no idea how often I would use it! From a creamy Keto Cheesecake to creaming butter and sugar for my favorite Peanut Butter cookies, this is a bakers DREAM!  But what I didn’t realize is that it can do so much more and mixes just about anything!  Cook up some chicken in the oven or Instant Pot and you can toss it in there, add the beater attachment and SHRED YOUR CHICKEN!  Perfect for Taco Pie, chicken salad and smothered nachos! I know that this is on the investment end, but in my opinion it is WELL WORTH it!  From what I have heard from many of you is that it lasts for years and years. An investment that pays for itself over and over. Plus for me, the convenience and durability is TOP NOTCH! I have linked this Artisan Tilt Head 5 quart mixer, but browse around the different options and find the right size, speed and strength needed for your family! Here are my FAVORITE attachments that I find super valuable! KitchenAid Flex Edge Beater: I like to use this attachment for my baking.  It creams the butter and sugar perfectly without having to stop the mixer and scrape the sides. Well worth it in my opinion and limits baking frustrations!  Cheesecake and Cookies for DAYS!!! KitchenAid Slicer/Shredder: Even though I like the convenience of pre bagged shredded cheese, I DO NOT like the different ingredients they have to include that causes the cheese to not stick together. This is fantastic to get your cheese in bulk blocks and be able to have shredded and sliced so quick and easily!  PLUS its great for all those veggies on your huge salads! KitchenAid Spiralizer: I do NOT yet have this item, but it is on my Amazon wishlist and will make all my Zoodle dreams come true!  I do have a cheap one, but find it frustrating to use and I loose a bunch of the vegetable I am trying to spiral. It has 4 unique blades that make this a versatile Keto must have!

In my personal opinion, the Instant Pot is by far my Keto Kitchen MUST HAVE. There is not a week that goes by where this little beauty is used in one way or another!!! It has saved our dinners more times than I can count and can go from frozen to dinner on the table in under 30 minutes!  Plus the ability to do a Keto Dump Meal is SO easy!  For example, I love to take 4-8 chicken thighs, place a hearty splash of organic chicken bone broth (We love Kettle and Fire!) and then add the chicken, coating with our favorite sauce!  Rao’s Marinera, basil pesto, SF BBQ sauce, yellow curry… YOU NAME IT!  It is the easiest meal and the chicken comes out SO tender! I get the rarest reviews when we do a potluck, friends asking how I kept the chicken SO moist and juicy… INSTANT POT BABY! But you can do soup, chili, yogurt, steam veggies and SO much more! This is the 6 quart Pot and is great for families of 4-6.  You can also select the 8 qt if you have a larger family or tend to cook in bulk (this is me!)

From making sauces to guacamole, baby food purees and everything in between, a standard food processor is a kitchen must have!  Plus this one from Hamilton Beach is a great price and gets the job done! The scraper attachment saves you time, with no need to stop to remove the lid and use a spatula. Great for grinding up nuts into a cooking meal for baking and the perfect guacamole maker!  Have you ever considered taking porn rinds, grinding them into a powder and using that as a keto “flour” for friend chicken!? NO!?  Well my friend… TRUST ME ON THIS. It will change your chicken experience!!

I finally got one of these in my kitchen and its ABOUT TIME!  From whipping heavy cream, eggs, soups, keto coffee… you name it, this is so quick, convenient and OH SO HELPFUL!!!  I love this one by KitchenAid (Huge fan of their quality and products) and the price is just right!  There is another model here by Mueller that is a few bucks cheaper with great reviews, but I like the attachments that come with the KitchenAid model!

I have had a Whoopee Pie Tin for a while now and love using it for our famous Stupid Easy Bread Round recipe!  Such a great texture and works wonders for cookies, bagels and muffin top textures. The non stick makes it easy to remove once cooled and super easy to clean! BUT OH MY BAGEL TIN! This thing is a Keto game changer and I have been putting it to good use since I got it a few weeks ago!  I love making the SEBR recipe in it because it creates this amazing crispy texture and easy to slice in half and toss in the toaster!  Plus I am testing out some donut recipes and having fun sampling my experiements! (They are more like mini cake donuts but soooooooo good! WHOOPIE PIE TIN BAGEL TIN

These are LIFE SAVERS for baking with almond flour. It can get so sticky and soooo hard to get off pans!  But these little babies are versilile for both cooking and prepping!  I love the price for this 3 pack and differences in sizes.  When we first started Keto, we used parchment paper, but these are SO much easier to use!!
