I recently did a pantry makeover and my biggest "aha" moment was that even though I don't use the kitchen aid ALL the time (and therefore shoved it to the side behind the folded door) it was such a pain to get it out, being heavy, at a weird level, and I hated it. I decided it was an absolute MUST to have it at waist-height and easy to grab, even if it's only used a few times a month. In fact, all the appliances are now on that middle shelf to save me back pain. I call it a big win!! :)

I use my kitchen aid blender a lot during holidays. I leave it tucked to the side counter on a linen towel. That way I can slide it easily out ! I put it away in January because then I usually just use it to make pasta!

That's the reason my kitchaid blender is still on the counter, all heavy stuff stays.

The only bulky thing I have on my counter is the thermomix which can be used to make so many things, which mean I don't have to buy additional raw ingredients, reducing even more things in the house. I think investing in multipurpose appliances definitely help to reduce clutter in the kitchen.

Thanks for those tips! I’m actually in my one week no spend per month, so I totally agree with your one day delay idea. I realized that I had way too much food in my fridge, freezer and pantry in December, so I decided to skip the grocery one week per month to make sure that I use up everything I already have. I realized that I store way too much when items are on sale, but actually sales come up every 4-6 weeks. Therefore there is no reason to stock up so much. I got a little insecure at first, but it actually works really well!

You should check out the over the sink drying rack... they have ones that stand up above the sink and one that actually fits over the sink opening, this would free up even more counter space and look more visually pleasing as it actually blends in with your sink.

Since many apartment kitchens aren't actually designed for people who cook, most apartment dwellers have to arrange their kitchen counter and storage usage backwards. Where someone with an adequate home kitchen starts with clear counters, only puts out what they need, and arranges drawers and cabinets by ease of use, an apartment dweller who cooks starts with a baseline of "Where can I make everything fit and still leave at least a single decent workspace by the stove" and thins things out/rearranges from there. Same destination, but instead of starting from a clean slate, most apartment dwellers start from a place of stress and mess, even the organized types. Every new kitchen is an adventure, and rarely a fun one.

Definitely a smart idea on an easy way to mix things up. Ashley one of my favorite salads that I make at home I had first eaten at a max and Irma's restaurant It's like a Southwest salad and it had a barbecue ranch dressing on it and it has corn and black beans on it and chicken and greens and tomatoes and tortilla strips It's really good.

This is a great video! So much content that I found helpful because you presented it in a unique way. Some of your ideas I already do but you made them feel new to me again. I love the one day later rule. I will be trying that. Also, I love the menu idea for planning meals when I'm in a boring rut. I'm new to your channel, found it through the clutter free January playlist. When I subscribed to your channel, I quickly scrolled through your playlists. I love the simplicity and font in your videos. I'm looking forward to watching them.

New subscriber here, great video and tips! I always "steal" recipes. Love to copy ingredients from yummy ready made salads and pastas from supermarkets xx

I've been receiving 'Hello Fresh' boxes since the summer, and the menus have definitely got me out of a rut with our main meals! I've cooked with all sorts of ingredients I wouldn't have used before. But as you say Sarah, the delivery box option is quite expensive, and I choose not to spend that much every week. However, I store the recipes that come with the boxes in a folder, and then look through them for inspiration for meals we've liked, and then I cook them from scratch. Thank you for all the tips!

Wow I actually do almost all of these tips. The one day later tip is easier now that I don't like going to the grocery store during the pandemic.

I'm so glad, Dani! I completely agree with the grocery store avoidance.

Recipes on blogs used to drive me crazy too with all the "talking" and ads and videos, but now I just put the link for the page into the My Cookmate app (I'm not affiliated with them) and it pulls all the ingredients and directions out into separate categories so it's easy to use. Game changer!
