No Food Friday Kinda - Progress

 

This post is does have to deal with food but actually how I got my kitchen more or less organized. It will always be a working progress but in the process I did find a way to re-purpose The Son’s baby food jars. The Husband calls me cheap but actually I hate wasting anything. I also recycle everything I could. If I could start a compose heap, I would. I don’t think The Husband would appreciate it. He might reconsider it if we get a garden.

Spice Baby Jars
(I couldn’t think of anything better)

1. Once the pudgy baby finishes a jar, rinse it out really well and remove the lable. I set them aside until the end of the day - The Son eats up to 6 jars a day.
2. Take the rinsed out jars with the lids into a large pot of water and bring it to a boil. This will help sterilize the jars for use. I boiled mine for about ½ an hour.
3. Drain the water and than I take the extra step of washing them in the dishwasher.
4. Fill the jar with the desired spices and label.

I like consistency so this way, all of my spices has the same container. I’m could be a little OCD at times.  I also like to be able to see how much is left  

 

I should have taken a before picture but trust me this is an improvement.

 

I even fixed my baking island.  Not perfect but getting there.  I'm trying to figure out where to put everything.

 

This is my extra pantry in my laundry room.  I have been banded from grocery shopping for a while.  My couponing helped create this monstrosity.  

 

 

 

Now off to meal planning.
