kitchen pantry

Organizing your kitchen pantry may not be at the to of your to-do list, but an organized pantry can make your cooking, kitchen, and overall way of life much easier. A pantry is one of those places where items, food products, and all those extras get tossed inside with little disregard of where they land. If you take some time to organize your pantry once a season, or at least once every six months, then you can help to use up food items before they expire, get new meal ideas based just on what you have on hand, and help to eliminate any wasteful over-purchasing of items that you already might have plenty of!
First, you must take everything out of your kitchen pantry. Make sure that you have a clear kitchen counter or dining table that you can use to spread out all of your pantry goodies. Now with everything out of your pantry, take some time to dust and wipe down the shelves. Unfortunately, you might come across some spills that have accumulated over time that you might not have been aware of, but better to clean it up now than never. This will give you a fresh and clean slate for organizing your pantry and may help to motivate you to keep your pantry clean from here on out.
