Vegan Recipes Made With Your Favorite Kitchen Gadgets
With a late November anniversary, an early December birthday, and Christmas just a few weeks behind, Irving often takes advantage of Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals, and gifts me the latest and greatest kitchen appliances. While I know that appliances don’t seem like the most romantic gift in the world, this girl loves them, and my sweet husband knows it! In the 14 some years that we’ve been together he’s given me a food processor for Christmas, a blender for Mother’s Day, an Instant Pot for a birthday, an Air Fryer for another birthday, a dehydrator for another Christmas, and countless little gadgets in between! Let’s just say that I have a well stocked kitchen. Are you looking for some new kitchen gadgets for the people on your shopping list this year? How about some yummy vegan recipes to go along? Here are a few of my favorite recipes and kitchen gadgets to go with them!
Instant Pot
The Instant Pot is a modern version of a pressure cooker. It’s completely digital, easy to use, and drastically reduces cooking time! I love to make dried beans in mine, and also rice! Oh….and mashed potatoes!!! Once you get over the (semi irrational) fear of it exploding it will become your favorite appliance! Get one NOW!

Air Fryer
My Air Fryer is the newest appliance in my collection! It cooks foods at a high temperature in a basket so that the air can cook from all sides, allowing it to stay crispy! So far I have loved using it to make fried tofu, heat frozen treats quickly (I’m looking at you, pizza bites!), my crispy Air Fryer Roasted Potatoes with Rosemary, and my Easy Vegan Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts!

I love kitchen gadgets for gifts too. One year I received a juicer for Valentine’s Day, and the next year it was a Vitamix. That’s romance to me! Haha! This is a very handy round-up for ways to use the gadgets on my counter and in my closet!
Yes! Well thought out gadgets and appliances are good! My dad gave my mom a dust buster once….they still talk about it….35 years later! So maybe not all appliances are safe for gifting! But all of these are!
Yessss this post is right up my alley – I love gadgets!! And I’m super jealous of your slick, white air fryer. That’s the air fryer from the 60s vision of the future!
Right? Anyone who has seen it on my counter has asked about it! It looks like some kind of space pod. I love it!
I have every gadget you can think of, and some don’t get as much use as others. Thanks for the reminder to use them!
Yes! That happens to me too! I open a drawer and remember “oh yeah…” I go through phases!
