Transformation Tuesday #13: Fridge Refresh
I recently started the Whole 30 to help curb some cravings and develop healthier eating habits. This meant I needed to organize the fridge, a nagging task that I just didn't want to do.
Following up on a past blog post about tackling small projects, I approached this organization project with a different mindset - to start with something super basic that I could build on when I had more time. No matter what, I was going to end up with a better looking fridge!
Easy steps for a quick fridge refresh:
Purge any old/suspect-looking leftovers (your stomach will thank you)
Toss anything expired (condiments always seem to be the worst offender, and that carton of milk!)
Organize by like items
Produce in the crisper - I put veggies in one and fruit in the other
Group condiments together - separated by sweet and savory
Leftovers got their own shelf front and center as a reminder to incorporate them into upcoming meals
Wipe down any visible spills/stains
I set a timer and spent only ten minutes on this! Next time, I will do a deeper cleaning where I'll remove the drawers and shelves to wash with warm, soapy water. But for now, this did the trick and now I can see easily what's available now that I'm cooking more!
