The pantry can be the scariest part of the kitchen. Boxes of food, opened bags of chips & cookies, canned goods, and whatever else is banished to the pantry, makes for a cluttered catch all.
This article has "12 Ingenious Ideas" on how to organize your pantry. I currently use #3, 7, 8 and 10 in my pantry. I've also applied these ideas to the bathroom cabinet & craft closet. I use a clear cookie jar for my dogs treats. I don't use baskets for my canned goods because I'm a klutz and one would end up falling out on my foot, however I do stack them with the label facing outward and rotate them from back to front when I buy more. That way I'm using the oldest cans first.
Should you decide to take on this project or incorporate a few of these ideas into your panty, please take a moment to check expiration dates on items, and if you are feeling generous load up a box for your local food bank. Food bank shelves aren't replenished as quickly in the summer months.
If you need help organizing your kitchen, to include your pantry, and don't want to tackle the job yourself, give me a call. I'm always happy to help.
