Organizing the Kitchen Zone
1. Stand back and study your current kitchen set up. What is bugging you the most? Are your counters too crowded? Do you have difficulty locating items? Are some containers hard to reach? 2. Create a vision of how you want your kitchen to look and feel by the end of this month. 3. Make a list of all that needs to happen to make this vision come true. Some of the tasks on your list might include: Declutter your counters. Take off everything that you are not using at least week

Organizing Your Kitchen for the Holidays – Zone Plan
October is a great time to organize your kitchen. This prepares your kitchen for all the extra holiday cooking. It also gives you the opportunity to donate to the various food drives all the food that has built up over the past year through impulse buying or overbuying. My kitchen strategy: 1.

The cooking zone includes the stove, oven and microwave as well as your pots, pans, bake-ware, and cooking utensils. As yourself when organizing in this zone if your lifestyle has changed.

Planning Kitchen Zones
I look at 6 zones in the kitchen. Food Preparation Zone – This is usually the largest zone in the kitchen. It is either between the sink and refrigerator or the sink and the oven.

This is where you would have pots, pans, cooking utensils, pot holders, bake ware, recipes, and cookbooks. Man

Kitchen Zone
Week one – work on the Cooking Zone. This would involve cleaning the stove, oven, and microwave as well as organizing pots, pans, cooking utensils, and bake-ware.

Week two – work on the Food Preparation Zone. This would
