Let's Get Organized!

 

Still winter outside. 

More snow last night,
                    and we are very thankful for it.

It is a good day to organize the kitchen.  

 A dedicated baking center is a necessity here at Hollyhock Hill.

Having everything at arm's reach  is a wonderful time saver.  

Spices and flavorings in alphabetical order,
  and on lazy susans so each one is easy to get at.

Bread making bowls...

Honestly, most of the recipes I use are on my computer.

This book just looks like it belongs here.

 A shallow drawer is fabulous.

    A place for everything, and everything in it's place.   Well, for now anyway. 

And right where I need it.

    The dipper spoons are great - the small one is just right for mini-muffins and candy, like divinity.
    The large one is perfect for full size muffins or sandwich filling.  Just the right amount for one sandwich.
    The medium one is great for cookies.



  

The bottom drawer is very deep.  Lots of room for staples.  This one looks a little messy, but it will evolve.
   Recycled three gallon buckets with snap on lids are great for flour and sugar, big enough that they don't have to be refilled constantly, and small enough to lift up on the counter.

   So, that is the baking center.  Pretty much everything in a three foot space.  And next to the fridge.  Now, to see how it works.......
