Kitchen Ideas & Stations, everyone!

     A thoughtful kitchen welcomes memorable people-events. This past year I've had time for many things, including developing kitchen flow for advantageous culinary group workouts. Here is a pictorial plethora of ideas, as family holiday baking/cooking times quickly approach. Please note disclaimer at the bottom*:

Knives & utensils attractively reachable for guest cooks




BAKING spices store separately from COOKING spices, for stations
To view: Kitchen Organization: COOKING spice rack--click here

Tea organizer (Ikea) lets company easily view their options

  

Rolling pins creatively store in an unused space



Green Tea (high in anti-oxidants) brews easily every a.m.



Kitchens may have a can opener...

...electric JAR openers save precious wrists

*Disclaimer: Confusion (OR even over-organizing) may be a comfortable dynamic for some families (avoiding unpleasant or delicate issues as in my toxic, dysfunctional childhood home).

OR, maybe chaos creates adventure! Approach organizing with caution, & avoid extremes.

 

Synchronized take-away:  1) "Birds of a feather flock together" and,  2) "You can't have your cake and eat it too."

 

 

 

Kitchen Organization

     My sensory processing requires a little distraction from October's closet organization. It is therapeutic to reflect on 2013's organization already accomplished. Here is a brief pictorial purview of a few of my kitchen's organization centers.


Less-used & smaller UTENSILS are contained in narrow baskets
...SPATULAS, etc. are handily contained on the counter



Plastic-coated spinner for easy viewing & no oil on shelves



Cooking spices are stored on levels (sold at BBB) for easier viewing, in somewhat alpha order left-to-right
(baking spices are in a different cabinet).




Hide produce in a drawer? Out of sight, out of mind! At eye-level healthy foods will be eaten.
