It’s been way to long since I’ve posted! April kept me busy. I have more food pictures to post and more recipe ideas to share, so check back soon.
In the mean time, I wanted to touch on some ideas for spring cleaning. It’s time to clean out your closet and start pulling out those summer clothes, so why not take a closer look on what’s in your kitchen closet? Check out your cupboards and fridge/freezer. Here are some things to look for:
1. Expiration dates: I’m not as good at this as I should be and I always surprise myself. If it’s expired, toss it!
2. Junk food: Keep a small bit of dark chocolate for the odd craving, but toss the rest of the junk. The best way to avoid eating cookies, chips, candy, ice cream (you name it) is to NOT BUY IT. And if you have extra lying around, toss it. It’s not worth the calories to get your money’s worth.
3. Items with freezer burn: It’s not going to taste good, it’s already been in there long enough to have freezer burn, you probably won’t miss it if you toss it.
What to do:
1. Designate your crisper drawers for fruits and veggies. Chop ahead of time and put in tupperware so they’re ready and easy to grab for snacking.
2. Keep your healthiest items right up front so they catch your eye.
3. Always keep some lemon or cucumber water (or crystal light or iced tea) ready so you can grab something refreshing as it starts to heat up. This is a much better choice than soda!
