We absolutely adore our little house in Cleveland and will have the opportunity to purchase it next year!

Teresa has loved this Le Cresuset braiser from afar for months and promises to use it all the time to make risotto and send you pictures!

You've probably noticed by now that the kitchen stuff is mostly for Teresa. But think of it this way: when you buy something for Teresa & Nic's kitchen, you're making it easier for Teresa to cook, which makes Nic very happy because Nic then gets to eat everything Teresa cooks. So, really, this benefits everyone! If Teresa hasn't talked your ear off about this pan, here's the scoop: it's nonstick AND non-toxic, it's oven safe up to 500 degrees, and it cleans like a dream.

With multiple temperature and time settings for all of Nic's teas and a simple French Press setting for Teresa's coffee, this is a winner for both of us!

Somehow we've lived together for 3 years and haven't bought a pepper mill. Nic loves pepper more than anything (except Teresa) and would love for you to save us from the plastic Trader Joe's pepper grinder we keep refilling!

Teresa's poor KitchenAid is really going through it. She'd love this bigger, sunnier mixer to make her baking a lot easier!

Three floors and a cat mean we have to do A LOT of sweeping. This great cordless vacuum would make our lives so much easier!

Our food processor just met an untimely end and this one is Teresa's personal favorite!
