I was very sick of cutting chicken or making meatb I was very sick of cutting chicken or making meatballs and feeling gross so while I still do those things and still do feel gross, this little air dry clay flower hook actually helps 😅

Because I’m a regular human I went into our kitc Because I’m a regular human I went into our kitchen renovation trying to keep the costs down, but I’ve also done this four times now so I also know that there are some little upgrades that are totally worth it 🤌🏻

What’s the best kitchen upgrade you’ve made??
