Handy dandy cooking tools :)

It dawned on me that I didn't chat about some things that I have found very useful in the kitchen for cooking healthy.  Most of it is stuff that you have....  Here are the things that I use EVERY DAY with cooking.

• Measuring cups ( 1/4 cup all the way up to 2 cups)
• Measuring spoons. (1/8 tsp all the way up to 1 TBSP)
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil ( you can get a big container at Costco--it will last you forever)
• The MISTO! For the Olive oil! You don't use nearly as much if you spray the olive oil versus dumping in the pan.
• A strainer for all the delicious steamed veggies you are going to eat!
• A Salad spinner!
• Storage containers. I have a tendency to make a dinner then take it for lunch the next day.
•  Canisters. I like to make different kind of snack foods that will last me for a little while. like a healthy trex mix, or one of my favorite snacks.. ALMONDS!
• and my most very very favorite thing... my food scale! The best $20.00 I have ever spent :) Don't spend an arm and a leg on this but I really do recommend getting one. Most of the health recipes I have come across use a lot of weight when it comes to portioning out your food. Especially when using meat. (make sure it has Ounces and pounds)

Hope this helps :) I am sure I will add to this list off and on, but I wanted to get you started!
