Gift Guide for The Cook 👨‍🍳👩‍🍳


Hi Reader,

Today's email is a bit different than normal, but I have had SO many questions asking what my favorite holiday gifts are for those that like to cook.

I have you covered! I’ve put together a list of the best cooking gifts--all found at Walmart for a great price--because we ALL need to save money right now. (And some of these prices have dropped LOWER than Black Friday--the lowest price I have seen on this air fryer and bread maker!!!!)

If you’re shopping for someone who likes to cook—or is just getting into cooking—there are so many great gifts you can give them this holiday season.

Hi Reader, Now that school is back in session, a sense of routine has returned. And with that comes a jam-packed schedule and the need for simple, satisfying meals. And while I have tons of ideas for school lunches, prep-ahead breakfasts, nourishing snacks, and 30-minute dinner recipes, sometimes all of those options can lead to decision fatigue (at least for me!)
