This Weekend: Get This Room Ready For The Main Event
Thanksgiving is right around the corner and your kitchen is about to go through the cooking and cleaning equivalent of crossfit meets morning bootcamp meets spin class meets a marathon, all in the span of a couple of days. The whole holiday will go a lot smoother if you do a few things to help your space perform at its peak. Consider this your pre-holiday stretch before the big workout ahead.
This Weekend’s Assignment: Get your kitchen ready for cooking and cleaning during the holiday ahead.
Make Your Fridge An Organized and Spacious Oasis of Calm: Your fridge is Ground Zero on Thanksgiving. Take some time to clean it out so you can fit in all food and leftovers without doing the awkward balancing act where pie is perched precariously on top of the turkey, and cranberry sauce doesn’t accidentally spill into the mashed potatoes.
