Kitchen Organization?

Rocks in My Dryer has a meme called "Works for me Wednesday" and this week's theme was kitchen organization. It amazes me how many people participate in this. There were hundreds of responses. I looked at a few handfuls of them and came up with a few interesting ones I thought I'd share.

A Simple Walk shared about her master menu plan, and other things. It was the master menu plan that interested me. She has a spreadsheet with all of the food she makes, from breakfast foods, breads, lunches, dinners, sides, etc. so it makes meal planning easy. Ah, good idea. Not so much "hmm... what else do we eat?" type thoughts going on.

Shouting For Ha has a great idea to store that giant bag of Costco onions, or all those onions from your garden.

In My Blonde Life gives the homemade baby food treatment to marinara sauce in order to make that jar last.

View from the Glen has a 3 minute plan to clean the kitchen and de-stress her life. Makes me wonder why it takes me so much longer than 3 minutes. At any rate, she is SO right about how a messy or cluttery kitchen just raises your stress level.

And this one, well, you just have to read it. It is about how to feed a family of FIVE on $150 a month. Yes, you read correctly. Not only does that include their food, but their toiletries and paper supplies! Yikes! Talk about frugal. All you moms out there who answered my poll saying that if money wasn't a problem you'd prefer to stay at home with your kids should read this!
