City Tip: The Only Kitchen Tools You Need

I have a tiny kitchen so we order take-out way too much (or at least that's my excuse.) What are the only items I really need to cook great meals for my family?

A sheet pan, small pot, large pot, strainer, cutting board and a sharp knife.

My go-to pantry items are: rice, pasta, quinoa, beans, canned tomatoes, oats, peanut butter. Get some staple produce like bananas, kale (which is heartier and will last longer than spinach, for example), peppers, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes...and your options are limitless for any meal of the day!!
