"I'm kicking off the fall season in a new apartment and I've had my eye on this toaster for so long as a splurge I gotta have!

Abbio Small Non-Stick Pan

I like to make mine on the stove, and when you have the right non-stick pan (like this affordable one from Abbio), your dreamy salad topping is ready in minutes with little cleanup. Serve them on a kale salad or on a charcuterie board alongside apples, cheddar, and salami." – Olivia Tarantino, Senior Editor

Bodum French Press
"Before the pandemic, I wasn't a coffee-every-day person. But somehow during quarantine, I can easily down two French press tanks in a day.

We are on our second French press of quarantine due to a countertop casualty, and it's an easy, affordable, eco-friendly way to make coffee at home." – Meghan De Maria, Senior Editor

The key is to buy frozen fruit because it allows you to enjoy your favorite fruits during all of the seasons." – Cheyenne Buckingham, News Editor
