    3 Apartment Kitchen Appliances that Make Breakfast Fun

    Last updated 1 year ago

    Decades ago, people began sacrificing breakfast to get to work earlier. This lead many appliance manufacturers to experiment with small kitchen devices that provided nine-to-fivers with an efficient way to get a quality breakfast. Below, you’ll find a list of a few breakfast appliance must-haves that will change the way you go about getting the most important meal of the day.

    1. A Waffle Maker

    A waffle maker may not be a necessity for every kitchen, but it sure can improve your breakfast menu. Nothing kicks off a relaxing morning like a soft, warm waffle topped with whipped cream and fresh strawberries and blueberries. Add a mimosa and poached egg and you’ll have all of the makings of a gourmet breakfast, but you won’t have to get out of your pajamas to enjoy it. Consider whipping up some homemade syrup for an even better breakfast treat.

    2. An Espresso Maker

    Add some French pizazz to your morning routine by purchasing an espresso machine for your kitchen. The ability to make your fancy latte or simple espresso from your kitchen will shave minutes off of your morning routine, giving you more time to sleep in or perhaps get to work before your boss arrives. Consider purchasing an espresso machine that lets you make two at once so you can surprise your spouse with a fresh cup.

    3. A Toaster Oven

    A toaster oven might seem like an ordinary heating appliance, but this kitchen appliance can quickly turn your ordinary breakfast into an extraordinary meal. You can roast butter-seasoned potatoes or hashbrowns, crisp strips of bacon, toast English muffins, and broil sausage for a delicious breakfast sandwich, melt cheese over a fluffy croissant, and so much more. Forget sugary cereal and bland oatmeal; get a toaster oven and start having fun with your breakfast.    

    A spacious, gourmet kitchen will go nicely with these appliances, so consider renting a new apartment from the Cottages At Tulane.

    4 Tips for a Stress Free Move

    Last updated 1 year ago

    The key to a stress-free move is staying organized and avoiding your desire to procrastinate. The longer you wait to get started, the more grueling moving becomes. Using the following tips will ensure the move to your new Plano apartment is hassle-free.

    1. Plan Ahead

    Planning ahead can help you stay organized and on track throughout your move, so start by making a moving checklist. Next, collect numbers of delivery services, healthcare providers, utility companies, post offices, and schools. This way, you can quickly make calls when the time comes to alert people of your move and divert services to your new address. Lastly, make a list of the supplies you’ll need for a successful move, including boxes, tape, labels, and more.  Keep all of these items in a folder and keep it with you throughout your move.

    2. Donate Old Items

    Don’t waste time by packing items you no longer use. Donate these items to local schools, collections sites, soup kitchens, and churches. This will cut down on the amount of boxes you need to collect for your move.

    3. Begin Packing

    Once your move is two to three months away, begin packing items you don’t use on a regular basis. For example, pack up the guest bedroom, formal dining room furniture, winter clothes and shoes, and items in your garage. Remember to check these items off the list as you put them away.

    4. Finish Packing

    When your move is three to four weeks away, pack up the items you use regularly. At this time, you’ll also want to arrange for a moving company to help with the furniture and large boxes. As you pack these items, label boxes with detailed lists and leave them untapped so you can quickly find something when you need it up until the night before the move.

    At the Cottages At Tulane, our spacious apartments are nestled within an amenity-rich community complete with a recreation park, picnic area, heated spa, and more. To schedule a tour through our community, call (972) 964-2600 today.
