Use this stuff to chef it up in the kitchen real nice. 

Pots, Pans, and Utensils

This Amazon Basics 15-piece set of pots and pans does what it aims to do: covers the basics. I especially like the 3-quart pan, which is a hard size to find for some reason.

Oxo Coffee Grinder

Don't buy ground coffee. Buy whole beans and use this grinder to grind up the beans yourself. You'll notice the difference. A little pricey, but worth it. This'll grind up your coffee beans like a champ.
