Let’s play a quick game called “Keep It or Kick It.”

Your kitchen cabinets are bursting. You’ve got gadgets in drawers, mystery parts in bins, and maybe even that one appliance you used once... three Thanksgivings ago. (You know the one. It still has the instruction manual taped to it.)

Five kids who love to eat has me certain in one thing: my kitchen needs to work for me, not against me. And that meant getting really honest about what’s actually useful—and what’s just taking up space and making me cranky.

In this new blog post, I’m spilling it all:

Talk soon,
