March is Nutrition Month 🗓️It’s time to get or-gan-ized!
Step 1: The 1st step in the kitchen towards cooking for optimal health is to go through those cupboards. Yes, reach all the way back to the corners and forgotten areas where you keep the Xmas cookie tins and the cookie cutters. Take it all out and go through the containers, utensils, pots, trays, glasses, dishware, storage containers and pantry food. Throw out/donate all the duplicates and what you no longer need.(have a bin handy to put it all in) Don’t forget to get rid of all the expired food too. Trust me, purging feels soooo good✔️
Step 2: now that everything is out, clean inside and out of cupboards 🧽
Step 3: This is the fun part! Use all of your old bottles, recycle those spaghetti sauce jars and use what glass containers you have. ( try to stay away from harmful plastics) Get everything out of bags, boxes or plastic and add them to a beautiful glass container. Add labels, grab a marker or use a label maker. Yes, here’s your excuse to grab one if you’ve always wanted one👍🏻
Being able to see what you have available in your cupboard makes it easy to find ingredients when and it’s a great visual to remind you to add an ingredient to the shopping list if you’re almost out.
Step 4: Put items together that you use often together ie: measuring spoons, cups and bowls or all of your flours together. You can even put items in a basket and pull out when needed✔️ to make it easy.
Step 5: Find a recipe and make something delicious.
Find a few hours on the weekend to try this and see the difference it makes.
