The right tool for the task often determines the measure of success. This statement is so very true of our kitchens.
I would like to encourage you to make 2014 the year you invest in your kitchen with a mini makeover. We often give attention to what the exterior of our kitchen looks like and yet very little to what this space holds so we can efficiently provide nourishment.
Here are some easy ideas:
Go through your drawers and cupboards and remove what is no longer useful clearing the way for tools that are. Our kitchens are similar to a big toolbox. We wouldn’t expect a carpenter to build a chair without the essential tools for the job; we shouldn’t expect any less from our kitchens. One or two new tools (I don’t call them gadgets) can make a huge difference in how one feels about cooking. Here are a couple of examples:
A crisp crust on a pizza doesn’t happen without a pizza stone.
It takes twice as long to do something when one can’t find the correct tool – organize. The above picture is a tool I purchased from Pampered Chef a year ago. I had no idea how much I needed this. The minutes it has saved searching through drawers for items I use on a regular basis has added up to hours I can spend doing something else.
A tool that cores and slices apples makes putting a pie together a breeze.
Labeling items that go in the freezer takes the guess work out of what is available for a quick lunch/dinner.
I am an equal opportunity purchaser of kitchen tools and one of my resources is Pampered Chef. (Note: I do not sell Pampered Chef products but it is my opinion that they make quality products.) I received the invitation to a Pampered Chef Party on Saturday where I can see what is new, do a little shopping and the credits of my purchase will be used to raise money for Children’s Cancer Network (please click on link to find out more on this amazing organization.) I’m inviting you to the party with the permission of Patti Luttrell – Executive Director and Co-founder.
It is my hope that you might find one or two items that can enhance your kitchen experience and at the same time help make the life of a sick child and their family a little easier.
Here is the information – PS: You don’t have to be at the actual party to purchase and help. The details are below:
