This is my first time to post on Kitchen Tip Tuesday; but I have been reading and enjoying the other tips here for awhile - so I thought I would give it a try. Not sure how great of a cook I am - to have a tip for every week - - but I will try my best!
This Tuesday, I thought I would share with you my tip on Kitchen Organization. When we moved into our farm house here 5 years ago - I made sure I organized my dry goods cabinet. I am so glad that I did. It makes homemade - from scratch - baking a breeze! Here is one tip I learned from Tupperware - way back when I was a consultant - Use the rectangle boxes for food storage and organization. They take up much less room than round or square containers. (I did not use Tupperware for my cabnent here though - just too expensive for me. I just used regular Rubbermaid containers that I got at Walmart.) I then place my flour, sugar, powdered milk etc, into their own containers and label them - stack away and I am done! I have never regretted the extra work it took me to get my shelves organized! I think I have saved time in the long run by not having to search everywhere for all my ingredients. They are all there - right in the same spot.
I also have all my oils and spices next to that dry goods cabinet. Then all my mixing bowls are in the cabinet below - and all my mixing spoons are right there on the counter by the dry goods cabinets. This saves me time and energy having everything right there where I do not even need to take a step to retrieve something for my recipe. I love it.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Hope you have a wonderful week in the kitchen.

What a great post. I wish my baking supplies were that organized!
What a great baking center!!
I love to be organized . . . or I should say I would love TO BE organized! Your cabinets look great.
Thanks for participating! :D Everything looks so organized!! :) I agree about square vs. round containers... :)
WOW!
Now THAT is an organized cabinet!
Thanks so much for sharing. I just love to see how others organize their kitchens. This is especially helpful to me because: 1) I am learning to cook from scratch and getting more efficient every day!
2) I just asked for ROUND Tupperware containers for Christmas for my dry goods! I'll have to edit that request!
Thanks again. I am here from Tammy's...

I am envious of your pantry! I love the idea of putting dry goods into rubbermaids. I am definitely going to do that after we get a home - hopefully, with a pantry!
