Organize your kitchen

A well organized kitchen in any home can make cooking time and meal prep a joy.  Here are a few simple steps to make sure your kitchen is ready for every day use and entertaining the same.  

1. Empty cabinets - pull everything out of the cabinets.  Discard broken items, donate duplicates or unwanted items.  Keep only the things you LOVE.

2. Group items - baking together, glassware together, holiday items together.

3. Organize the cabinets - consider the best place for each grouping.  Think about less trips back and forth across the kitchen to make your morning coffee.

4. Use clear containers - see through glass can be pretty and also functional

5. Store containers and lids together - discard containers without lids, those not used often or not LOVED.

6. Make use of vertical space - hang things to save space in flat drawers

7. Use lazy Susans - did you know lazy Susans are great for refrigerators too?

8. Use drawer dividers - store more in each space with dividers

9. Sort papers - a desk or countertops in the kitchen can be a dumping station.  

10. Clean out the refrigerator - condiments can multiply when you are not looking and foods have expiration dates too.  

Happy organizing! Visit Ketchum Kitchens (next to Atkinsons) for all things kitchens in Sun Valley.

Get Healthy in 2017

Sun Valley inspires us everyday to get out and play, laugh and enjoy life.  Here are our little tips to start the New Year off right and stay healthy for all of 2017.

Move! Exercise, take the stairs, park farther from the door

Eat more vegetables (yes, even for breakfast!) Think breakfast salad, veggie scramble, avocado on toast, add shredded carrots or zucchini to your pancakes  

Get 7-8 hours of sleep every night. Turn off screens 1 hour before bedtime

Drink more water (8 - 8 ounce glasses per day) that's a half gallon.  Grab a glass of water before coffee in the morning

Gratitude is good for health.  It's scientifically proven! It benefits the heart and immune system

Get outside - fresh air is a mood enhancer
