Food Stamp Cooking Club’s kitchen organizing tips
The Food Stamp Cooking Club blog has a newsletter and the one I got the other day features kitchen organization tips.
You can get boxes, baskets, jars and bins to organize your foodstuff and kitchen utensils; and I have done some of that in my kitchen. But as the Food Stamp team explains, you really do have to do some experimenting:
When revamping your kitchen it might be very important to the success of your efforts to edit your cabinets, shelves and countertops. Look carefully to evaluate what you really need and use often and what you can live without. It is very important for some cooks to have a tall stack of cottage cheese cartons on hand. Me?
Not so much. I much prefer the storage boxes, each kept with its own lid on a shelf reserved for food storage boxes! BUT THE POINT IS FOR YOU TO DO WHAT WORKS BEST IN YOUR KITCHEN.
I probably should post more about my dinner menus and recipes than I do. But I’m feeding only two adults these days, and many of my readers still have children at home. That’s why you want to add frugal food blogs such as Food Stamp Cooking Club to your bookmarks.
What did I serve for dinner last night? Baked spaghetti. The pasta with sauce and ground beef was frozen as leftovers from a previous dinner. I thawed out that stuff, topped the pasta with mozzarella cheese, and baked it in a casserole dish for 30 minutes.

Cooking for two, eh? How romantical! I’ll bet some of your readers would be happy to “rent” you a child one night a week, just for dinnertime! grin
Thanks for the notoriety for Food Stamps Cooking Club! We do hope our series of cooking tips is helpful, especially for people who MUST be frugal.
Hugs,
Mother Connie

Yes, two adults at home is definitely a different lifestyle than children at home!
But many of the grandchildren on my side of the family are still in grade school or younger; so we’re around little kids at least twice a month during family gatherings.
And we’re dealing with eldercare issues now on my husband’s side of the family. We knew that was coming; so it was a blessing that the daughter was in college and mostly independent by the time we had to shift directions.
