Tools to Make Cozy and Delicious Autumn Recipes

These are Amazon and Walmart affiliate links to some of my favorite kitchen tools and ingredients for Fall cooking and baking. I may earn commissions on qualifying purchases. You can read my affiliate disclosure here.

• ​Pork Loin​
• ​85/15 Ground Beef​
• ​Best Crock Pot - 7 qts so it can hold enough for a crowd. It has a removable crock so it's easy to clean. Simple controls, easy to use and affordable. Still my favorite even though I own fancier ones. This gets used every week!
• My 12" Cast Iron Skillet​ - It makes heavenly fried potatoes and is essential to almost every meal I make year-round. But, this is especially handy in the winter for comfort-food cooking. It can be used on the stovetop and in the oven, so it's incredibly versatile.
• My Deep Dish 9x13 Ceramic Baking Pan is perfect for casseroles, Magic Cookie Bars, cakes and more.​
• ​Pyrex ​Mixing Bowls I use daily. Of course, they're great for stirring together the ingredients for a recipe. But, they're also perfect for storing leftovers and even for serving things like this scrumptious Broccoli Cauliflower Salad. Another great feature is that they come with lids, so leftovers can easily go straight to the fridge.
• ​Sheet Pans - My favorite sheet pans are commercial grade and 13x18. This particular one comes with a bonus silicone baking mat.
