Organizing your kitchen can both improve its appearance and reduce your cooking time. Here are a few of the many pearls of wisdom from this wikiHow site (click the link below for the rest):

  • Reduce the number of objects you keep permanently on your kitchen countertops.
  • Replace appliances and kitchen tools that don't work.
  • Give any duplicated appliances to friends, family or your favorite charity.
  • Make to-do lists of kitchen supplies and side projects so you don't forget them.
  • Be wary of keeping spices near a hot stove, as they will become spoiled far more often.
Remember to organize according to how you cook, not how you think you should be cooking. You can experiment with different arrangements, and see what works and what doesn't.

 

Dr. Mercola's Comments:

If you're going to make the worthwhile investment to optimize your health by spending more time preparing your own meals from whole foods, and in line with your body's unique nutritional type, it's smart to organize your kitchen first. And this interesting artricle offers many suggestions for doing just that.

I was impressed by the pragmatic, common sense solutions that should make your transition to eating more wholesome foods -- and achieving better health -- a safer, easier one.

You can also review Colleen Huber's tips for making enough time in your life for cooking nutritious meals from scratch, including the idea of planning on the weekend what you will eat for every meal the coming week.
