Hi friends, Cassidy here, the Marketing Director at Living in Yellow! When I am not creating graphics, shooting photos, or scheming up our next project, you can find me rearranging the furniture in my home or whipping up some vegan meals in the kitchen! I am your classic self-proclaimed interior decorator and food connoisseur! Whenever I am looking to add some new things to my home, I always check out The Home Depot! It truly is my best kept secret [but here I am sharing it with you!] The Home Depot is a one stop shop, and has everything from decor to kitchen appliances to furniture to patio must-haves and everything in between!

I knew that I had to get my hands on some trending products that I have been seeing all over the internet, and when I saw these nightstands, I instantly fell in love! These mid century modern nightstands were the perfect addition to our primary bedroom. I have been searching and searching for just the right bedside tables that also didn’t break the bank! For our primary bedroom, I wanted it to feel modern and moody with a splash of color. As soon as I went to check out The Home Depot, I found myself between these nightstands and these ones! I ultimately felt like the rattan textured drawer would compliment our dresser and curtains so well. I am BEYOND happy with my choice. They arrived promptly and were easy to put together [I did it all by myself, woo!] This was definitely an upgrade from our previous side tables – my husband and I keep calling them our “grown up nightstands” 🤣 If you are in the market to give your bedroom a little refresh, I cannot recommend these bedside tables enough!
Heading out of the bedroom and into the kitchen, I finally got my hands on the Instant Pot Stainless Steel Air Frying Oven! I have been wanting to update my air fryer for some time now. I really wanted to make the switch from a plastic, non-stick air fryer to a completely stainless steel one! Not only does the Instant Pot Stainless Steel Air Frying Oven have more features and capabilities, it is also a healthier alternative to cooking with Teflon! It is important to me and my family to be cooking with non-toxic cookware! And oh man let me tell you, this air fryer did NOT disappoint! It has the ability to air fry, bake, broil, dehydrate, roast, reheat and more! Not to mention, the size is amazing for actually cooking all of your goodies at once [say goodbye to two batches!] It also features an adjustable oven rack, a stainless steel wire food rack, a cooking sheet and a removable drip tray! We’ve already made so many yummy things in this little oven – pizza, taquitos, fried tofu, garlic bread – you name it! It has easily become a kitchen appliance that we reach for again and again!
I recently whipped up some vegan jackfruit taquitos and it was SO easy popping them in the air fryer and cooking them for just a little over 5 minutes [this thing is EFFICIENT]. Not only were they tasty, but they were cooked to perfection! Snag yourself the recipe below!
