Today’s Goal: To gain an overall understanding of the basic must have meal prep kitchen tools, and the nice to have, but still very helpful tools. Divas completing this task will also learn how to purchase kitchen tools at a fabulous discount!!!!

TOP 10 "MUST HAVE" Meal Prep Tools 1. Meal Prep Containers (click here) or (click here) Necessary to transport your prepped meals when you're away from home!

Multi-meal Lunch Bag (click here) or (click here) Assists in transporting multiple meals while away from home! My personal favorite bag!! Large enough to fit our Fabulous meal prep containers! 3. Non-stick cookware (click here) The Non-stick feature is key! Helps with making not just fabulous TASTING food but they will also LOOK fabulous too! I prefer ceramic or porcelain finishes! Excellent even and FAST conductor of heat! 4. Nylon, Silicone or Wooden Cooking Utensils Set (click here) No metal please! This will ruin your non-stick cookware! This fab set includes your measuring cups and measuring spoons!! Great price! 5. Knife Set (click here) Chop your veggies, fruit, or protein with ease!!! A sharp knife set is key! 6. Parchment Paper and Aluminium Foil (click here) Parchment paper is the best!!!! Prevents your protein / veggies from sticking to the pan! Better than foil! 7. Healthy Fat Cooking Oil (click here) or (click here) Olive Oil, Coconut Oil, Avocado Oils are all great choices! No Crisco divas! 8. Low Sodium, but Full of Flavor ALL Natural Seasoning (click here) Too much sodium can adversely affect your weight loss goals! 9.

I’m Nicole Twyman, a native New Orleanian, who has lived all across the US! Although, my small family of 4 currently calls Los Angeles, CA home. I am a proud 40+ year old mom of a wonderfully energetic and theatrical daughter, and a handsome, scholarly athlete!
While I have worked in corporate America as a certified senior project / program / portfolio manager for Fortune 500 companies like Microsoft, Procter & Gamble & IBM, my passion is service. It has always been my desire to live a life of service to others; which I took every opportunity to explore as an active member of many of my church’s ministries and of my public service sorority, Delta Sigma Theta, Inc.
Well, now I am over the top excited to have the opportunity to serve divas through my very own ministry, Fit, Fyne & Fabulous.
