Kalyn's Kitchen: These Are Kalyn's Kitchen Picks

I like discovering new food products and kitchen items, and when I find something I love, I'm always raving about it to my friends. Kalyn's Kitchen Picks is a blog feature that grew out of my natural inclination to share recommendations for products I'm excited about.

Everything featured on Kalyn's Kitchen Picks is a product I've tried myself and loved. Nearly all of these are products I've purchased myself; some are things I've used for many years. If I ever feature a product I received as a sample, I will always disclose that information, and you can be sure I won't be writing about anything unless it's something I would have happily purchased myself.

I hope Kalyn's Kitchen Readers enjoy seeing what food products and kitchen items I'm recommending. As always, comments and suggestions are welcome.

Carole with an "e" again. Love your blog. The silicone baking cups look terrific and will go on my shopping list for my daughter who is a cupcake fiend. She recently made us double chocolate with chocolate chip cupcakes (I still have two in the freezer) and I'm sure she will love these as one of her Xmas gifts. Thanks for the info. PS: making the squash soup with kale and farro this evening for tomorrow night's dinner. Thanks, Carole

Thanks!

I have a big one for lettuce and greens and a small one for herbs, and both are OXO brand. I've had a few different brands through the years, but this is definitely the best brand I've tried, and I've had my current ones for many years, so they're durable too. Hmm, maybe I should write a post about them!

I noticed that we have alot of the sames tastes so your recipes have really helped.

I am also a frequent Costco shopper (love that store) and it always seems that I foget something right after I've been there. Do you have a grocery shopping list of things that you purchase from Costco? Maybe if there was a master list that I could print off I won't forget something next time :)

Keep up the good work!!

I'm afraid I don't have a master list for Costco! what I do is have a notebook open on my kitchen counter at all times (so two pages are showing). I keep two lists there for the grocery store and Costco, and when I notice I'm low on something I write it down. Then when I go, I just tear out the page. This works well for me.
