In July, I got a beautiful Le Creuset dutch oven. I have not used it as yet, but I will. I am waiting for the perfect recipe to initiate it. Not just any recipe will do, it has to be something spectacular. In the meantime, it has been sitting on my counter taking up space and collecting a little bit of dust.
So, today, I finally re-organized my pots and pans cupboard. It took me about 2 hours. The hard part was deciding where to put everything. It had been in the same space for the last 6 years (since we moved into the house).
Step 1 - Empty the entire cupboard. (Easy)
Step 2 - Vacuum and wipe it down. (Easy)
Step 3 - Put everything back. (Hard)
I did it though as evidenced by the pic above. I wish I thought to do a "Before Pic." I decided to put the baking things to one side and the cooking things to another. By stacking the baking sheets and muffin tins on their sides, I saved a lot of room, as well as stacking rarely used items on top of each other. Surprisingly, I only got rid of one thing, a cookie cutter sheet which I have never ever used. I prefer using individual cookie cutters.
Now, I actually have room for another pot or pan (Le Creuset, maybe?) My cupboard is more organized and I am ready to bake again. I have not done any this week, because I still have some cookies and brownies left. The good news is that the brownies are still not dry. The trick is to cut as you go and pre-cut everything. It keeps it from drying out.
Until next time!
