Thanksgiving is a time for family, friends, and an unforgettable feast! While the holiday is all about coming together to share a delicious meal, having the right tools in the kitchen can make all the difference in creating a stress-free and enjoyable cooking experience. Whether you are hosting or making a dish to take to someone’s house, below are a few of my top must-have kitchen items that will make your Thanksgiving dinner that much better.

High Quality Roasting Pan

First on my list is a high-quality roasting pan. Whether you’re roasting a turkey, ham, or vegetables, having a good pan is essential. kitchen list items 1This roasting pan is $99 from Crate and Barrel and is at the top of my kitchen list items.

Chef's Knife Must-Have Kitchen Item

A sharp chef’s knife can make all the difference in the world. A quality knife is one of those tools that you’ll use for everything from slicing vegetables to carving your turkey.

Stand Mixer

When it comes to making mashed potatoes, bread, pies, or even whipping up a batch of cookies, a stand mixer is a game-changer and easily one of the best kitchen items I have purchased. This is definitely one of those must-have kitchen items that saves time and elbow grease. The KitchenAid 10-speed stand mixer has a powerful motor and versatile attachments so it can handle any dough, batter, or whipping task. If you don’t already have one, this is a kitchen list item you’ll want to add sooner rather than later!

No Thanksgiving feast is complete without an array of delicious sides, from creamy casseroles to decadent desserts. That’s why having trusty casserole dishes like this set of 3 from Amazon for $42.99 are essential. These kitchen items make it easy to prepare and bake everything from macaroni and cheese to sweet potato casserole and pumpkin pie. 

Wine Glasses & Servingware

Even though they’re not exactly “cooking tools,” having the right wine glasses and serving dishes really helps set the mood and make everything feel more festive. A set of beautiful wine glasses like this set of 8 from Crate and Barrel and platters for serving your dishes will elevate your meal presentation.

My dad was the American dream. He came to this co My dad was the American dream.

He came to this country from Egypt and built a life he could be proud of, becoming a successful business owner who owned three neighborhood bars. But to him, they were more than just bars. They were always home to familiar faces and gave people a place to go, especially on the holidays, when he would make sure everyone had a meal and a place to be.

He loved to go deep sea fishing, play video games at his bar, wear all white, put way too much sugar in his tea, smoke his Marlboro Lights, drink a Heineken, wear his 14k gold and always had wads of cash in his pockets.

But nothing put a bigger smile on his face than his grandchildren.

Losing both of my parents in six months is something I still can’t wrap my head around. It feels unimaginable. There are moments I don’t know how to process it all, or how life can possibly look the same without either of them.

But I find comfort in knowing that my dad is in heaven, and I know my mom was there to welcome him with open arms 🙏

I will miss you forever, Daddy. I love you ♥️

My beautiful mom went to heaven. She passed peacef My beautiful mom went to heaven. She passed peacefully and is no longer fighting a battle she has fought for so long. 

Nothing in this world prepares you for the heartbreak of losing your mom. My mom was everything to me, and I know how incredibly lucky I have been all these years to have had her as my mother. She taught me how to work hard, to be independent, strong, and assertive.

She was a powerhouse. Tough and honest, but always fair. Her bark bigger than her bite. But let me tell you about the German stubbornness…all the way to the end. I was always so proud you were my mom. A mom who did everything, for everyone. But her favorite role was becoming Omi to my two littles.

It’s up to us to keep our loved ones’ memories alive. If you knew my mom, please comment your favorite memory of her. Some of the only laughs I’ve had recently have come from friends sharing their favorite moments with her over the years.

I promise to continue her legacy. To say her name. To teach my children what an incredible woman their Omi was and how deeply she loved them. While her proudest accomplishment was being a selfless mother to her two children, mine was being able to care for her over the last 11 years, the way she cared for me my entire life. I will forever cherish the moments we walked through the hard together.

Be free, Mom. You are out of pain now. No more suffering. Watch over us and send me the signs, I will look for you in everything we do and know you are shining down on us forever.

I love you. In Gottes Namen 🙏♥️
