Mr Frenchie and I are settling into our new apartments and finding a home for all our stuff - old crap and shiny new presents. In an effort to spend less money (and because we think it’s pretty darn fun) we’ve been cooking at home most nights.

Our first night cooking was pretty interesting, we tried to make tomato soup (to have with paninis) and realized we didn’t have a can opener. The next morning, we attempted to make pancakes, and realized we didn’t have a spatula. Thankfully, last Friday we were able to open up the remainder of our wedding presents at Mama and Papa Frenchie’s house. Here are a couple of my favorite wedding presents, in case you’re in need of more things to add to your registry.

1 - Utensil Set - This 10 Piece Utensil Set by OXO has been a lifesaver! Can opener? CHECK! Spatula? Would you like solid or perforated? Because we have both!

This set comes with a crock (to hold everything), 2 spoons (perforated & solid), fancy nylon-headed tongs, 2 spatulas (perforated & solid), can opener, whisk, swivel peeler and a flexible spatula.

2 - Pyrex Set - Mama Frenchie has more Tupperware than you can shake a stick at (well you could actually shake a stick at it, but you would have to back up A LOT to get the whole kitchen in your shaking area) because she attended many a Tupperware party in her day. I don’t think they have Tupperware parties anymore, or if they do, I haven’t been invited to one, and there has been some debate on microwaving food in plastic containers. Our solution was this Pyrex Clear Glass 17-pc. Bake and Store Set from Target.

We’ve already started storing leftovers in these containers. Plus, it came with a measuring cup, something we realized we needed while trying to measure ingredients making tomato sauce on Sunday night.

3 - Towel Hook - I don’t know what man designed the bathroom in our apartment, but they put the light switch right below our only towel bar. Thus, making it impossible to find the light switch if you, oh, I don’t know… want to hang up your towels. Before we opened this Cero Spa Over-the-Door Hook Rack from Target, I had to give our guests a lesson in where to find the switch before they used the bathroom.

Now, the light switch is super easy to find (it glows) and my towel is closer to the shower. SCORE!
