1. Slow cooker liners that aren't only good for quick and easy clean up, but they're AMAZING when you're a vegan or vegetarian living in a house with someone who eats meat. It works as a barrier between your food and the meat that's been cooked in the slow cooker previously.
2. A set of silicone baking mats to keep your vegan treats separate from the meat that was on the pan's surface. These reusable mats prevent food from sticking to the pan, whether its baked goods, veggies, or your spouse/roomie's baked chicken. BTW — vegan reviewers say they're WAY better than parchment paper.
3. A personal blender for when you want to make your homemade vegan or vegetarian dips and sauces. This blender cup is also portable! So it's great for on-the-go juices and smoothies too. A real win/win.
4. If you've got space to spare, a 10-piece cookware set so you can keep all the meat and dairy from your roommate's cooking totally separate from your own. No ifs, ands, or buts! This set comes with everything you need including a skillet, frying pans, sauce pans, stock pots, lids and a steamer insert.
5. Or a splurge-worthy multipurpose cookware set if you want to save space. It comes with a stainless steel skillet, a hybrid pot, and a lid. What makes this set so cool is that the skillet and pot fit together and work as a Dutch oven! When you can't buy a whole new cookware set of your own, a versatile set like this is the way to go.
6. A budget-friendly multipurpose pot to cover most (if not all) of your needs. This pot has a removable steamer good for vegetables, dumplings, and so much more. The included sauce pan even comes in two adorable colors!
7. A clear-labeled cutting board that'll be just for you and your vegetables. You definitely don't want raw steak and chicken being cut on the same surface as your tofu and veggies, and this is a way to ensure that doesn't happen. This cutting board is also customizable, so it can say "Veggie Board" or anything you want!
8. OR color-coded cutting mats for something everyone in the house can use. This set comes with a cutting board that has storage underneath for the six included cutting mats. The green mat for vegetables and yellow mat for fruit. The others (for our meat eater friends) include beef, chicken, and fish mats.
9. A manual food chopper if you don't want to share kitchen knives, but don't have room for an entire second set. It's actually pretty convenient even if you do have the space. It chops fruits, veggies, and even ice in a flash.
10. A high-quality chef's knife instead of buying a whole new knife block. This knife is perfect for slicing, chopping, and dicing your heart away.
11. Unique eating utensils so you can quickly point out and grab what's yours. This 20-piece set has a can't-miss abalone-black finish and is gorgeously shaped. You know you're adulting if you're obsessed with flatware.
12. Cabinet organizers to organize snacks and goodies! There are particular sauces, chips, candies, and pastries that vegans and vegetarians cannot eat. This is a great way to keep your things separate. FYI, these stackable organizers have a sliding door for quick and easy access!
13. Fridge organizers because the same goes for chilled things too, and having a go-to spot in the fridge will feel a lot less overwhelming when looking for dinner. These organizers also have handles so you can pull them out easily.
14. A label maker that'll make it clear which items are yours and which items are a no-go for your roommate or spouse. Can you only have a certain kind of butter that you don't want to share? Label it! Have some yummy Beyond Meat that looks exactly like the real thing a few shelves below? Label it!
15. Or reusable label stickers so you can write them out yourself! Simply use a permanent marker to label, and the included eraser (or just plain ole rubbing alcohol) will wipe the label clean. That's way less messy than a smudgeable dry-erase marker.
16. A compact air fryer for quick and delicious vegetarian and vegan meals! This Dash air fryer won't take up much space in the kitchen, but it will make (or reheat) some amazing meals. It's small enough to be your own designated meatless air fryer, but works well enough that your meat eater housemate will want to share.
17. Reusable air fryer liners in case the air fryer does become a shared appliance in the kitchen. Because these babies are made of silicone, you'll get years of use!
18. A pack of Rubbermaid food storage containers because meal prep is essential. This 24-piece set features have leakproof lids and are microwave, dishwasher, and freezer safe! Beware the meat eaters will definitely want to use them as well, but that's what labels are for *wink wink*.
19. Reusable silicone stretch lids to cover up fruits, veggies, cans, and containers as is. These lids help opened food last longer and are leakproof and microwave, freezer, and dishwasher safe. Reusable lids are especially great if you're the only vegan or vegetarian in the house and make meals that always have leftover ingredients.
20. A yummy vegan snack like mushroom "jerky" for those times you have the munchies! Regular jerky is (obviously) not an option, but Moku's mushroom jerky is a great substitute. Particularly if you miss the smoky flavor of meat from time to time, flavors like Hawaiian Teriyaki and Sweet and Spicy will keep you on track.
21. A Purple Carrot subscription for those who don't have time to grocery shop and are too afraid to leave it up to the meat eater of the house (don't worry, I totally understand). Or just when you don't feel like cooking — Purple Carrot provides delicious plant-based meals that even your meat lover will want to try.
22. A set of wineglasses because if there's one thing you can do together, it's drink a nice glass of wine. These glasses have the classic thin and long stem, but the light iridescent color makes them a must-have.
