consider these tips for a perfect pantry
- Know what you have before heading out the door. Extra trips to the store cost time, money, fuel and frustration. Organize pantry items for quick inventory. Sort by food type, turn food labels outward, and group items often used together.
- Buy local. Stock your pantry with pull-out baskets to store and display fresh, local produce. Many goods like tomatoes and potatoes fare better outside of the fridge. Plus, local foods require fewer preservatives since they get to your table sooner.
- Let drawers do the work for you. Lighten the load in your kitchen and on your back by using shallow drawers to store small but heavy appliances. A blender, mixer, slow cooker, or food processor pulls out with ease at waste level for less lifting and making baking a bit easier.
-
Pack healthy snacks for hunger attacks. Designate a drawer, basket or shelf for kid-friendly healthy snacking. When their hunger hits, they'll know what they can have (in moderation of course) without needing your help. To keep your late night snacking hush-hush, use soft-close door hinges and drawer slides. |
