    beautiful holiday cooking essentials from wayfair

    this post is sponsored by Wayfair

    the holidays are here, they’re here! they’re really here! so naturally that comes with lots of cooking and baking and hosting and gathering and all the cozy vibes! i thought it would be fun to gather up my cooking essentials for holiday meals from Wayfair — from super useful things you’ll use all season like beautiful cookware and wood utensils to what others might not consider technically essentials like a bouche de noel log pan (but who am i to judge how you holiday!)

    Wayfair has fast and free shipping so it’s perfect for stocking up on all the things your kitchen needs before all the holidays!

    enameled cast iron dutch oven

    i can’t imagine making cozy dinners without a dutch oven, this one is especially stunning!

    nitro cast Iron skillet

    i love the design and the price of this cast iron. useful for dinners but also for dutch babies (one of my go-to quick breakfasts for entertaining now!)

    nonstick cookware set

    such a beautiful non stick cookware set and i love the fun blue color.

    stoneware bakeware set

    and i love these mini dutch ovens. they would make for such cute individual desserts or turkey pot pies after thanksgiving!? i shouldn’t write this post hungry!

    nordic slow cooker

    again, cozy dinners = slow cooker!

    6-quart air fryer

    i know you might not associate air fryers with holiday entertaining, but you are mistaken! there have been many a holiday when i’ve re-crisped latkes or made veggies when we’re out of oven space in mine !

    linen tea towels

    i just have these tea towels and i love them 🙂 your guests will absolutely judge you for having gross old kitchen towels when they’re strewn about in your kitchen! ok they prob won’t but its a good excuse.

    cotton floral tea towels

    another gorgeous option!

    mandoline slicer

    i have this mandoline and it’s designed so beautifully, and also safely! it feels way less like i’m going to amputate myself than my old one.

    maple and walnut checker cutting board

    such a big beautiful cutting board, i can just picture a roast sitting here waiting to be carved 🙂 did i mention i’m hungry?!

    wooden kitchen tool set

    i truly love a flat edged wood utensil, i feel like nothing scrapes the bottom of your pan quite like it! i also love the rich tones of this wood set!

    little wooden spoons

    the cutest little wood spoons for tasting while you cook, or i like to use them for serving sauces and such.

    stainless steel roasting pan

    i don’t know why this oval shaped roasting pan seems so much more special to me, but i think it’s because it feels very french! lol.

    olive wood carving knife and fork set

    you simply (most likely) can’t host without carving your entree! love this set and really want to upgrade now

    ruffled baking dish

    another beautiful baking dish, i love the ruffles and i’m putting this on my xmas list!

    striped ruffled bread pan

    more ruffles! the cutest little loaf pan!

    plaid stoneware baking dish

    i love this baking dish! stuffing, roasted carrots, all the things!

    speckled stoneware loaf pan

    a cute speckled loaf pan for all your pumpkin loaves and can i have some?!

    round brilliance bundt cake pan

    i guess when you get to a certain age you’re drawn to fun bundt cake pans. is that a thing?! haha

    round fluted cake pan

    i own one just like this and it makes for such an amazing looking cake, here’s an example!

    buche de noel yule log pan

    again, i am not going to assume what’s an essential and what isn’t for you — but if you make buche de noel or even want to start, i love a tradition!!!

    food heating mat

    life changing for hosting big meals! you can plop all your dishes down on top to stay warm!

    nylon potato masher

    the most cumbersome thing to ever sit in a kitchen, but also so useful! i love love the design of this one!

    kate spade striped oven mitts

    cute striped oven mitts because i can’t be the only one whose oven mitts look like they were in an actual fire.

    any holiday cooking staples that i missed?!
