Kitchen-wise, we don't do much cooking, except for breakfast and snacks, so I can't help much there. I would say if I had to recommend one thing, it would be SOS pads.If you're going to cook, you'll probably need to scour the pans. They supply you with dish soap and dishwasher soap. Maybe a roll of tinfoil would be helpful too. I also bring clothes soap,dryer sheets, and a stain stick, and extra hangers....there never seem to be enough!!!!!!My DH likes Starbucks coffee, so I bring that, and coffee filters. They give you a 1 or 2 days supply of coffee, so fi you're big coffee drinkers, it's probably not a bad idea to bring more.
