Of course I can't forget gifts for the foodie 🙂 A lot of these products are ones I want, but have heard great things about. Cooking brings cheer all year round not just during the holidays/ But I couldn't imagine a Christmas without receiving or giving a foodie gift. I want to be the chef that has a kitchen filled with gadgets and appliances (even the totally unnecessary ones) not to mention all.the.cookbooks! You can never go wrong with a cookbook 😉

Can always use more measuring cups. My husband would prefer that I get the stainless steel ones because things like turmeric and matcha stain the plastic ones LOL. I want a food processor and a better blender.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
O I know!!! Or like red curry paste....but eventually it comes off!

OMG, I am in foodie gift heaven! I am dying for someone to gift me with a dehydrator and a spiralizer. Hint, hint, honey! I am so glad you shared these awesome selections on the Healthy , Happy, Green and Natural Hop! Have a Happy Holiday!
strengthandsunshine
Haha me too! And only a true foodie would understand why I would actually need those 😛
Kristy @ Southern In-Law
Girl! Now I want all of these, haha!
My most used kitchen items? Mixing bowls, nonstick saucepan/frying pan and my beloved crepe pan - ooh and cake tins too!
What I wish I used more? My dehydrated and icecream maker - but I don't have enough room on my kitchen bench for the dehydrater to sit out and I never have enough freezer space for the icecream bowl haha
strengthandsunshine
Ah you lucky girl! I want a dehydrator so bad! Raw wraps, soaked and dried nuts, apple chips...as the possibilities 😛
Sarah Reid, CNP (@jo_jo_ba)
Id love replacements for my old off-label food processor and stand mixer... and a replacement microplane!
strengthandsunshine
What type of processor do you have? A microplane comes so in handy 🙂

I like that crockpot. It looks really nice! The most utilized appliance in our kitchen is either the coffee pot, the water boiler or the waffle maker. I got a really nice waffle maker at target that has never failed me. 🙂
Happy Holidays!

What is it called? I have a really old waffle iron, but I an scared to use it 😛

I love having cast iron pans, especially as I used to be anemic. I also love my garlic press and zester. Oh, my digital scale is fab, as I bake bread often.
strengthandsunshine
I don't do much making, but I do want a scale for more accurate measurements. Wow using cast iron really helps with anemia?
