Creating a Clean Slate In the Kitchen & My Favorite Kitchen Items
Creating a Clean Slate & My Favorite Kitchen Items
The first video discusses the important of a “clean slate” especially in your kitchen. I find that it’s really important to be organized and have the space to create, to cook, to bake, etc. If you are constantly pushing stuff aside to make a smidge of room just to get dinner done, what fun is that? When you wake up to a clean kitchen it gives you a sense of freedom, a breath to take, and then you’ll be able to accomplish the tasks ahead.
All those kitchen items and gadgets do you really need them? If you’re not using them often and your kitchen is cluttered it may be time to move them to another location. I’m not saying to go Marie Kondo or anything- our economy is too fragile to just throw stuff away. I’m suggesting putting stuff away in storage for now.
The second video is a walkthrough of my Favorite Kitchen Items and how I use them. Some items are just so darn handy and help gain momentum and ease in the kitchen, so watch what one’s do that for me.
If we all take small steps to change our habits in the kitchen “they” won’t have as much control over our food. That’s why Freedom in Food is so important, and I hope you agree.

The colander is a fine mesh so it can strain rice, herbs, cheese and angel hair pasta.
This crock pot is a large one- 10 qt and it’s awesome to cook large chickens or make lots of soups.
These bowls are amazing, and I use them often, especially for Sourdough to ferment overnight.
This grinder is great for grinding spices! You can save if you buy in bulk (from Azure Standard )
Now this Immersion Blender is an all-time favorite, I use it a lot for soups, soap making, etc.
These knives are amazing!! They stay sharp and do a wonderful job for all things.
This dehydrator is a favorite, I use it a lot for drying herbs and making apple rings.
I’m not sure what I would do without both of these items!
