No amount of resolve or cooking know-how can survive a cluttered, disorganized kitchen, and a crowded refrigerator with spoiling food to the back and down below. It hardly motivates you to put on your apron ~ but rather to grab your car keys and head for carry-out.
But changing that isn't as daunting as you would think. At the start of this new year, I've contributed some tips that might be helpful.
Get rid of duplicate cooking utensils, and pot or tupperware lids with no matches.
Dump any expired spices or other food items, including any spoiled vegetables or fruit in the fridge.
Create a clear counter space. Don't use it as a temporary desk!
Stock a simple pantry with items you would frequently use for healthy eating, including canned tomatoes, pasta, broths, a variety of beans, olive oil, oatmeal and a few spices like cinnamon, red pepper flakes, basil, oregano and cumin. Always have a few onions, stalks of celery, carrots and potatoes on hand for a quick soup!
Oh, yes ~ and remember to unload the dishwasher after every washing so dirty dishes can go right in, rather than stacking them in the sink.
Just a few of these changes can make your life a lot easier!
