Welcome to the very first Editor’s Picks, a new monthly feature where I share five products that I’m currently obsessing over. Whether it’s something I’ve used a hundred times or something new I’m dying to try, these are things I just can’t get enough of. In the spirit of “New Year’s Resolutions” (although I really like the idea of simpler daily resolutions instead), my January picks are great ways to start 2013 off right.

Chobani’s “Bite” Fig with Orange Zest yogurt

One of Chobani’s newest products, Bite gives you a little extra deliciousness in your yogurt in the form of a chewy mix-in. It comes in four delicious flavors, but I love the sound of a fig and orange zest combo.

Cuisinart‘s SmartStick Immersion Blender

really need to invest in one of these. Homemade blender soups are one of my favorite things to cook in the winter, but transferring (and blending) hot liquids into a blender can be a tricky and potentially disastrous process. A handheld immersion blender solves this problem, plus it’s much easier to clean. I’m really loving the metallic colors, too.

Trader Joe’s 10-Minute Grains

Trader Joe’s 10-Minute Grains like barley, farro and bulgur make it easy and convenient to have healthy “ancient” grains on your table in no time. They’re par-cooked so you don’t have to soak or boil them for extended periods of time–just ten minutes and they’re ready to eat!

Kitchenaid‘s Custom Made Stand Mixer

 This custom hand-painted KitchenAid stand mixer costs more than my monthly rent, but I am totally in love with it because it’s zebra print. These limited edition mixers come in other gorgeous flower and animal prints, too. No one really NEEDS this, I guess…it’s just really, really cool. I suppose I’ll settle for a regular old stand mixer.

Williams-Sonoma‘s Marvel Flexible Spatulas

Stop. Just stop. I’m so happy these exist. I’m so sad that I don’t own one yet. Williams-Sonoma says they’re “the perfect tool for young cooks in the kitchen.” I say they’re the perfect tool for someone whose kitchen cabinet contains 8 different superhero shotglasses…a.k.a. me.

    Thank you so so much for including the link to my “Free Yourself From New Year’s Resolutions” post! I’m super excited about this new monthly feature. I’m dying to try the Chobani Bites, too. Though, surprise, surprise, I’m eyeing the ones with dark chocolate. I have a Cuisinart Immersion Blender (though not in one of those sweet colors) and I absolutely love it. I use it all the time. Lol, and those spatulas are… what’s the word? Oh yeah, AWESOME!

      I was so torn about whether to feature the fig one or the raspberry & dark chocolate, which was the first one that caught my attention…but I figured I should at least PRETEND I’m not such a creature of habit

    I tried the Chobani bites this weekend ( Coffee dark chocolate chip and raspberry dark chocolate chip) and they were AMAZING. Perfect for a sweet treat. I actually fooled myself that i was eating dessert!
