Tackle It Tuesday/ Kitchen Tip Tuesday

That's what I have to do today...PLENTY! Lot's of Thanksgiving prep! I need to:


Clean out the frig

make the Thanksgiving Menu

Grocery Shop (YUK)

Laundry

Bake

Wash the hard wood flooring

Wash the floor rugs

And I am sure there is more...to see other Tackle's visit 5 Minutes for Mom.
I have the tutorial all ready to go, but decided to wait til after Thanksgiving, so I will put part one up on Friday or Saturday...just think Light/Dark, or two color combinations you really like together. Vision....that is what everything we do starts with.

I decided to join in this fun Tuesday game...glad it is on Tuesday so I can combine it. I am giggling at myself because I can give lots of tips on how to open a box or package just right, but since I started scratch cooking, I am learning as I go. Most of my tips may seem old hat to some of you, but you never know what "processed food preparer" may be lurking out there and be inspired by a "tip" to actually cook!
Here are my first Kitchen Tips:
#1 Wear An Apron!! Not only does it keep your clothing clean, having it on is inspiring to actually do something involving the idea of cooking!! If you do not have one, you can buy one or make one very easily. Make it fit your personality. I like the full aprons, but there are times I put it on quickly at my waist leaving the top part tucked behind. Fabric is important. I have one that is neutral enough to go with most of my clothing, but my favorite is one that clashes with alot, so when I can actually wear it, it is a treat! I plan to make several more after the holidays. #2 Create a Baking Center! This was the best thing I ever did! Pick a cupboard or cabinet, or even a drawer and put all your baking supplies in one spot. What a difference it has made. As always, Copper's Wife has some great tips on creating a baking center here.

Have a wonderful Tuesday!!

I love the aprons!! I only have a plain white one. I've been finding myself eyeing the pretty ones lately and yearning for a frilly pretty lady apron. ;)
