Equipment
I like mixing ingredients in glass bowls. I especially like that these ones come with a lid because you never know when you need to cover something quickly.
I’ve used these Tupperware bowls for years and LOVE them. I’m not sure why they are not rated that high on Amazon but they are the perfect size and the lid fits super snug so I feel comfortable traveling with my favorite pot luck dishes in the car.

I do not include salt and pepper because I assume it is already in your pantry.
