6 Tools To Help Keep Your New Year’s Resolutions

Jump to Recipe

I think we’ve done a pretty great job the last 3 weeks here on WGC when it comes to keeping it mostly healthy and making it easy to stay on track with those New Year’s Resolutions! I’ve been loading up on salads, all sorts of fruits and vegetables and juicing up a storm.  Because of that, and because I love you guys a LOT, and because it’s the weekend (yaaaas)… I thought we should do a big giant giveaway today! I’m teaming up with eBay to bring you $500 worth of goodies to add to your kitchen tools and keep your healthy resolutions going strong!

6 Tools To Help Keep Your New Year’s Resolutions on Track!

But before we get to that… here are my 6 picks for things to keep you on track from eBay’s New Chef + Eating Healthy Starter Kits, to continue to inspire you to pursue your passions in the New Year:

Lodge Seasoned Cast Iron Kitchen Skillet – there’s nothing better for pan-searing a protein than a cast iron skillet! Don’t you love that crispy skin on salmon or chicken? It’s the best! If you already use a cast iron skillet than you should make this chicken ASAP and if you don’t cook with one, START! It will change your life and your cooking.

Spiral Vegetable Slicer – ugh. My spiralizer is EVERYTHING. I can’t get enough of the zucchini or sweet potato noodles. If you don’t have one in your life, you haven’t lived! Some of my favorite recipes include this and this.

Omega VRT350 Dual-Stage Vertical Single Auger Low Speed Juicer I’ve been obsessed with juicing for the last 3 years and it’s the BEST way to cram all sorts of nutrients into your body! I mean, if you haven’t seen my juice cleanse post yet… here ya go

Vitamix 5300 – I mean who doesn’t want to whip up a beautiful smoothie every morning? It’s my favorite way to start the day! 

Global 2 Piece Chef’s Starter Knife Set – I can’t STRESS the importance of good knives. I get my Globals sharpened every few months and it makes cooking and prepping food so much easier! Gotta have good knives for all those salads 

PL8 Professional Mandoline – want to make those fantastic fruit and veggie ribbons in this salad then you need a mandoline in your life immediately!

6 Tools To Help Keep Your New Year’s Resolutions on Track!

You can find these tools and WAY MORE over on eBay’s Starter Kits! They are basically curated assortments of must-haves essential for all of us foodies trying to keep it mostly healthy after the holidays! eBay is a great place to find the best value on a wide selection of kitchen essentials to make your resolutions for the New Year a reality.

  1. Gaby–first off, can we be friends? hehe.
    second off, i would absolutely love the Global Knife set! i have shed 30lbs in the last year and am grateful to have discovered so many of your healthy recipes (salads in particular)! but i’d also love that Cast Iron Skillet to make biscuits and other guilty pleasures 🙂 life’s about balance, right?

    hoping i win 🙂 please pick me!

  2. hi gaby! i would love the vitamix to make smoothies and soups but all of these are awesome and i would take any of them!

  3. The red beauty!!! My sister and I have been wanting the Vitamix for quite some time now.
    P.S. Love watching your snapisode recipes! Thank you!

  4. Gaby! What a great give away. Okay all the prizes are amazing but I’ve always wanted a mandoline so I can make perfectly sliced potatoes! It is one of those things that I somehow talk myself out of buying as I can certainly cut the potatoes myself with a knife. I am always hinting to Hubby for bday or xmas gifts. And yet I still don’t have one! Fingers crossed Gaby would love to win! Thanks for all your recipes and LOVE you on snapchat!

  5. I want a Vitamix so badly! My current blender just does not get the job done. I love smoothies, but I want it more to make super smooth veggie soups!

  6. Gaby,

    A. Your blog and snaps are AMAZING

    B. Totally jealous of your skills

    C. I would love love love love a set of knives. To be honest, I’d love the cast iron skillet to. Either one would be SUPER!!!!

    Thanks,

  7. The #2 prize is incredible for me! The juicer, knives set and cast iron skillet are all items I don’t currently have, but have been on my personal wish list for awhile! I recently purchased a juicing cookbook that I couldn’t pass up! Thank you for promoting healthy living!

  8. It would be a game changer for me to have a good juicer and blender like the Vitamix. I have been integrating nut butters, smoothies, and juices in my diet and it would save me time and help my goals to have good efficient equipment to do it! Thank you Gaby!

  9. Thank you for such an awesome giveaway. I have a picky eater in my husband as well as my toddler, and I would love the Vitamix to make them smoothies and other WGC recipes so I can help them enjoy healthy treats that are delicious. Thanks, Gaby! ❤️

  10. I would love the juicer and the knives! I actually asked my mom for cooking knives when I was 11 because I loved to cook so much then! But they’re old and rusting so some knew knives would be awesome, and who wouldnt love fresh juice!

  11. Ohmy I would so love the juicer or the vitamix (know the hubby would prefer the skillet and the knifes though) also wanting the spiralizer that looks so cool
    Cheers from cold Edinburgh,Scotland

  12. Gaby I am so greatful that I found your blog!!!!!! You have inspired me and my family to eat healthier and prepare more of our meals at home. You have truly been an inspiration in our lives. I would absolutely LOVE the juicer to prepare fresh juices at home and try the recipes for your juice cleanse :). The cast iron skillet would be wonderful to prepare your Greek Chicken and Potatoes. The possibilities are endless!!!!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful blog and recipes ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

  13. Hey Gaby! I look forward to your snaps every day, I’ve been lusting over those knives you previewed in the snapisodes earlier, PLUS that cast iron skillet would definitely do some (delicious) damage in my kitchen! 🙂

    xo,

  14. I’ve been pondering the spiralizer in my local cookshop for a few weeks now. It could well be my birthday present to me.

  15. Gaby! I love all of this ALMOST as much as I love your snaps! I would say a juicer would be the gift that would help me! I love juice and recently moving from California to Rhode Island makes it impossible to taste fresh juice! I never had a need in California but Rhode Island is a fried food everywhere place no juice. 🙁

  16. First, T.H.A.N.K. Y.O.U.! for this chance!!
    Most definitely want the juicer and knives,and any of these!
    Again thank you so much!

  17. Hi Gaby! fellow June 1ster 😉 I would die for the VITAMIX! I’ve been wanting one but my Ninja broke down and hubby bought me a Nutri bullet and he can’t understand why I need a VITAMIX, as if! It would be a step closer to completing my kitchen wish list. Ps.. Love you Snaps! Xx, Yasmine

  18. Omega VRT350 Dual-Stage Vertical Single Auger Low Speed Juicer !! Love checking all your recipes, this particular machine would help me out!

  19. I would absolutely love a Vitamix blender, a new set of knives and a mandolin. That would be the perfect combination!

  20. Hi Gaby! I want all of these things! Can I win multiple times? But really I would definitely choose the Vitamix because it’s the one thing that I really want that I could never by myself. Yea! Thank you!

  21. The Vitamix & juicer sound amazing. I actually have the other items. You are spot with the advice regarding cast iron. It’s the best! Yesterday I roasted a pasture raised chicken on a bed of root veggies in my cast iron Dutch oven— golden perfection!

  22. I am so glad I discovered your blog! A cast iron skillet has always been on my wish list. It would be a match made in heaven for my turkey burgers! All the best in 2016!!
