I am the wife of a retired Navy officer. We retired from working for the government about 4 years ago. We are now fully retired. We just moved into a new bigger house as our daughter and 17 year old grandaughter moved in with us. Good for all of us. We help them and they help us. We have a combined family of three dogs. A 13 year old mini doxie, 8 year old golden retriever and a 5 year old malties. I have two sons who also live within 10 miles of us and one son in LA. Comments
I use plastic storage containers for my pantry. I have discovered "Snap-it" containers. They are a little expensive but I feel they are worth it. They are waterproof and air-tight.
I keep flour, sugar, rice, pasta, baking soda and powder, cornstarch. basicly everything from soup to nuts.
I also use them for leftovers that I put in the fridg. or freezer. I just bought a large bowl to put my salad greens in. I clean, tear my lettuce and put in the bowl with chopped green onions. I toss it in the fridg. I take out the amount of greens I need for the number of bowls i need. I then chop tomatoes and other things my family like in their salad. I return the unused salad in the bowl and put it back in the fridge. This makes salad prep so much easier when you are trying to get dinner on the table.
These containers come in squares, rectangles and round. They have lids that snap down and seal the container. They are great!
I have found these containers at Walmart, Kohles, Target, Garden Ridge or you can go to snapit.cim and order from there.
In Organizing recipes
This is a great Idea. I have been doing this for awhile myself, I have sections for breads, soup and sanwiches, desserts, cakes & Muffins, veggies and sides. I make a grocery list for two weeks and file it to be used again. I also keep a list of things in my pantry and refrigerators and freezers. This helps me budget and save money,.
