    Fresh Start for Your Kitchen: Food

    July 15, 2021 / No Comments

    When it comes to food where do you start when getting a fresh start in your kitchen? It can be so overwhelming to start from scratch but don’t worry I have some great tips. Over the years I have moved a lot and when you move long distance you rarely can keep anything from your food.  1. Make a list of all the items you use on a regular basis.  If you cook a lot of Asian dishes there are basic pantry staples that you will need such as soy sauce. If you love Mexican food taco seasoning and fajita seasoning may be on your list.  2. Review my list of pantry and…

    Fresh Start for Your Kitchen: Dinnerware, Flatware, Drink & Barware

    July 13, 2021 / No Comments

    The most fun part of outfitting a kitchen for me is getting all the dinnerware, flatware and drink and barware. I love to find beautiful things that make me smile when I use them. Searching for your favorite plates is as much fun as using them. Below is a list of the items I want to get to replace what was destroyed by the fire.  Dinnerware Everyday Dishes Chez Nous 16-piece Dinnerware Set I always find white plates to be beautiful but I rarely want to use them. For me I find plates with a little detail make me happier and I love these, just enough to have some interest but not to…

    Fresh Start for Your Kitchen: Kitchen Tools & Cutlery

    July 8, 2021 / No Comments

    Kitchen tools and cutlery are essential in your fresh start of your kitchen. I am definitely a kitchen tool and gadget girl. There are so many that you can fill up your kitchen with, but which ones must I have on hand?  Below are my most used and loved kitchen tools/gadgets and my must haves for cutlery. Kitchen Tools Can Opener OXO Good Grips Soft-Handled Can Opener I prefer a manual can opener to an electric one. Unfortunately, I have had an electric can opener malfunction more than once and with a manual one it always works. This is a great option to have at home.  Buy Today* Candy Thermometer Candy Thermometer Deep…

    Fresh Start for Your Kitchen: Cookware & Bakeware

    July 6, 2021 / No Comments

    A fresh start in the kitchen for me includes new cookware and bakeware. If you want to make delicious meals you need the right vessel to cook it in. I love to have a variety of pans to cook in but you can always get away with just a few to start. If you want to do that I recommend getting a cast iron skillet, a sauce pan and some baking sheets – it’s really the bare minimum to make delicious meals.  Below you will find my recommendations and what I will be picking up to outfit my kitchen for our fresh start.  Cookware Cast Iron Skillet Lodge Chef Collection Skillet I love…

    Fresh Start for Your Kitchen

    July 1, 2021 / No Comments

    Are you looking for a fresh start in your kitchen? Have you experienced a new move, a loss or are you just ready to replace the old items in your kitchen? If you are I completely understand, in the beginning of 2020 my 10-year relationship ended and I left our apartment with just two bins of kitchen items. Then my sister and I lost almost everything in a fire in our apartment complex a little over a month ago. (You can read about it here). Since we will have to replace everything from the kitchen we want to have a purposeful fresh start, not just buying random things that aren’t what we want.…
