I buy my fish frozen, especially shrimp since it tends to be fresher than the "fresh" shrimp at the counter at my local supermarket. I stock up at Costco.. they have great salmon burgers and good deals on shrimp. I also buy frozen fruit for smoothies, and frozen veggies in the winter when there's nothing local available.
I also keep Dr. Prager's stuff on hand for the kiddo, on those days when I don't feel like cooking food or don't have leftovers to give her.

(The commenter who said she always buys fresh must be very lucky to live in a place where good, local produce is available year round!)

PS I also have a binder and I use plastic sleeves in it to protect the printed recipes or magazine cutouts. My dream is to have the Dry Erase fridge, so I can write notes down right on the fridge while I'm cooking!

I won an XO in a contest last year and I had no idea what to do with it, because my daughter is not nearly old enough to use it. A friend told me she uses hers for checking e-mail and feeds around the house, which gave me the idea to start bringing my XO into the kitchen! The thing is basically indestructible, so it's a perfect fit and I don't have to waste any more paper printing out recipes.

Sometimes I think the folks at Kitchn are mind-readers. Just yesterday, at Target, I was looking for these, to store my dishes during my kitchen renovation. Off to Container Store I go! Thanks, y'all!

I second the electrician advice, since there are unknowns...

As for a new one, I agree with ohjodi...I just bought a GE SpaceSaver Above-the-Range (range-hood combo) microwave for less than 300 bucks at Home Depot (internet special). You'll have much more headroom above the range and can keep your counter space!

We bought one of these after considering how much money we spend on seltzer, and how much of an impact we were having on the environment because of all the plastic bottles we were using. Cost-wise, it's definitely worth the initial layout of cash... one carbonator makes 100 liters of seltzer. We drink at least 5 liters a week in our house, so one carbonator comes out to 4 months of seltzer!

I'd grant my husband's wish for more braised meats and veggies.

I like eggs hard-boiled but with the yolk still yellow, not green. That's why I never make hard-boiled eggs. LOL.

I would like to point out that Ina Garten, the queen of "Good" ingredients, used chocolate chips on her show (Hershey brand, I believe) to make a ganache.

I gave up coffee completely for my first trimester but now that I'm 4 months, I look forward to having my coffee again. I have one cup a day, if even that and I've become very very choosy about my coffee because I don't want to waste my one cup on a crappy coffee. :) And like everyone else said, everything in moderation.

We make a special trip every now and then to Tarrytown from NYC to pick up a couple of pounds of Sinful Delight at Coffee Labs. The best-smelling and -tasting coffee ever.

My favorite use of my kitchen aid is baking with my 4 year old niece.
