A little hack for the zest if anyone is interested….it freezes very well so I get a bunch of orange and lemon and zest it all and keep it in a mason jar in the freezer. Then I use the rest of of the fruit for juicing. I also freeze the juice in ice cube trays to use later. It is very convenient to already have that in the freezer and doesn’t seem to lose any of its flavor being frozen.

[@vjohnson2400]

Similarly I freeze left over wine in ice cubes and freeze fresh herbs in some olive oil in ice cubes, both really useful kitchen tips.

[@hannahkayee831]

Thank you both for the tips!

[@juliemlynarczyk7475]

If you put a bar in the closet, hang it further back. Then you could push the shoe rack back giving you more room to get to the dog shelf and the hanging broom/mop. A bar will give you space to hang coats from your visitors. You will also need more room for coats now that your family has grown.

[@almaremarais2494]

I would the bar in for the coats and put the command hooks on the inside of the door to hang the mop and broom on the door.

[@tracy7755]

Could probably use a tension rod to try it out. Figure out how far back and how high up would be the most optimal for the both of them and if it all works out, they can get an actual bar installed.

[@amandatransformed]

Agree, i feel like that will function really well. And they can use the space behind the hanging coats for storage of less often used items.

When my children were small, I picked out a lower cabinet and put some plastic bowls and wooden spoons for them to get out and play with. It kept them from getting into the other cabinets so much. Time flies, yours will be doing that soon!

[@southerngardengigi]

When my baby girl (16th birthday today!) was crawling and toddling we were in a house with an absolute TON of kitchen cabinets. The one under the coffee station just had some soft lunch totes in it and my daughter would pull them out and get in the cabinet to play. I actually have a picture of her in the cabinet lol

My kids started crawling and getting into cabinets around 5/6 months, so you might need to reconsider some of your organization the next few months and start thinking about what sort of cabinet locks etc you'll want. My youngest is 2 and the bread blade in the drawer freaked me out a little 😅

[@kathyv3909]

When I need to buy something my husband always says "Don't cheap out!". I hate to spend money but have found joy in spending just enough money to get the job done right rather than just okay! It is so good to see how much bigger that little baby A bundle has gotten to be in the last few weeks as you do the kitchen chores. I don't feel I need to see his little face and know all about him to take joy in his healthy growth. Bless you all!

[@marlenestamm9461]

Put the coat bar further back so you can still use the shelf for dog stuff, an yourour shoe rack. The clips you got for the brooms are $1.25 at dollar tree for 2 clips on one. Also Tupperware drawer get a peg board an pegs so they can stay more organized lay peg board in bottom of drawer an use pegs to size the Tupperware so they stay in place an each has a place.

[@BluFairy13]

I hung a small white board in my pantry and write down anything thats empty and needs refilling that way I dont have to check in each container. Hope this is helpful. Loved the motivation!💚

[@lailayen765]

Good organizing👌 Since you asked what we thought about the cupboard... ;-) I would definately not have blocked the entrance of it with the shoe rack... I would have pushed it either all the way to the back, or at least halfway in there, so that Josh would access his coats more easily, and you wouldn't have to stretch over it to get the brooms. I see that it's more likely that your shoes might get kicked off in front of it in stead of putten into it if you push it further back. But that's just a matter of self discipline ;-) You could still have the coats hanging across the room on a rod, btw. Good luck, however you choose to organize your home. It's inspiring and fun to watch anyway :-)))

[@careneicke6785]

Hi Becky, thanks for the video today. I think the word you are looking for the type of recipe these breads are is “quick breads”. This is what the section would be labeled in a cookbook. Quick due to no yeast in them.

[@reneebeason7471]

Your videos are as reliable as old faithful. Thank you for the consistent content. I’m sure it takes a ton of effort to keep the videos coming every other day. 💗

[@tjeanvlogs9894]

Consider doing these kitchen resets as pre and post harvest and holiday prep. Also think about the rest of the house as resets between mostly inside to mostly outside. Being in the Puget Sound, the post holiday kitchen rest precedes the rest of the house transition between inside/cold weather into outside/ warm weather time which leads into pre harvest reset. Then you have the post harvest reset playing leap frog with it's getting cold reset and the year ends with prep for the holidays. It averages out to tackling a reset about every two months.

[@madgevanness4011]

I’d go pre holidays and pre planting. So October and March. For me.

[@Sara-od9nj]

FWIW cupcake liners store perfectly in wide mouth canning jars.

[@gillianmuspic2337]

place some parchment paper in the bottom of the flour drawer and a little up the sides. That way when it gets messy you can just take out the paper, shake the contents into the garbage and put it back. Easy way to keep the drawer clean

[@Leslie-wb8cb]

I just did this with my bathroom cupboard. I've been putting it off for AGES. But one day, I just felt the urge, and I went and purged! Two boxes of random shampoos, soap, samples, etc. and I put them on my front porch. I did a first come first served on mktplc and they were gone so quickly!! My latest thing is to put one item a day on there for free. People will take anything that's free!

[@lindabirkes-lance8915]

One of my jobs during my career involved traveling at least once a month. I would collect the free shampoos, etc from hotels and bring them home. When I had a ziploc bagful, I took them to a homeless shelter for the guests there. It’s the perfect size for those folks. I know they appreciated having the supplies.

[@pamc.2553]

Becky, I have a suggestion for your drawers that have the glass fronts where your baking goods are located: cover the glass with some type of paper, contact paper or something that you like the color of or that is simple and blends with the drawer so that you cannot see inside the drawer. Then you could use that small front space for the small jars, etc. Just a thought. You may already use that area, but it would drive me nuts that you could see what is in the drawer since it has a glass front.

[@denisejones1863]

I would keep my pot holders in those spaces.

[@williamsfamily3939]

Could you push the shoe rack to the back of the closet? It will make accessing the coats and the broom etc much easier

[@judithburke1539]

It might be a hazard for their heads though....

[@katherine7444]

Ya it doesn’t really make sense to have it at the front, huge waste of space and it going to make grading the broom and mop annoying

[@robertaross7097]

Almond extract is also great in the cranberry bread

[@susanputnam8929]

I would put the coats on the left because that side is recessed, and hang the brooms on the right because you have more height to accommodate the brooms, and put the shoe rack out of the way on on the back wall.

[@smiller6925]

Put the coat bar just behind the broom and mop "hooky things" . But it is great the way it is!! You could alternatively put a few more hooks on the back of the door for company. I'd place the bench back a foot (so you can step in a little if you want. and swap the broom and mop. Broom is used more. Put a lidded trunk and shelf on back wall. (gloves and hats in baskets)

Hi Becky. I realized that I live close to you so I’m going to pay close attention and follow your lead for the garden. This is my 4th summer here and the last 2 growing seasons were interrupted by family emergencies.

Thank you for sharing your kitchen and garden with us.

[@reneebennett1335]

Great timing 😊 I just got a custard pie in the oven and it’s time to clean up!

[@lenora-yoder]

You mentioned the pretty flakes being a benefit of zesting the orange so in case you didn't know - orange zest will give that cake WAY more orange flavor than the juice! If you hadn't zested that orange I think you would have barely tasted the orange flavor, zest packs a big punch! (and is also very pretty haha). When it comes to citrus juices lemon and lime lend a lot more flavor than orange, though their zests are also stronger than their juices!

[@myhomethyme3543]

Hey Becky! If you keep the yeast in the fridge instead of room temp, it will last for months and months! You’ll never have to test if your yeast is alive! I also have never had any issues with condensation, etc.

Drives me nuts, I’d rather look at a mess until I’m prepared to put it away right. Not him. He doesn’t clean the kitchen usually but when he tidies everything goes in a corner or stuffed into a closet I just organized messing it all up again.

I am the same way. I can not stand having things shoved in places. I have zero hidden junk nooks in my house. If my house is a mess, then it is a mess. I will look at it until I can not take it anymore and finally deal with it, but until then, it doesn't get shoved out of sight. So what you see is what you get. Anyone can walk into my house at any time and open a drawer, cabinet, closet, etc, and they are all organized. There may be a large pile of dirty dishes just hanging out or jars and papers on the counter, but those hidden spaces are never a mess. My man, on the other hand... 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@gardendreamer9117]

Hi Becky, after I saw how you put measuring cups in your flour, sugar, etc containers I’ve started doing that too. And you’re right, saves time when you’re baking & eliminates washing it out for each ingredient. Also, regarding your newly organized closet. If you don’t want to put holes in the wall, just get a tension shower curtain rod, put it towards the back of the closet, to hang your coats on. That’ll make the closet more open to reach what you need & you could move the shoe rack under the jackets.

[@interestedobserver9352]

Amazing how energetic and motivated you are. Always so much fun to watch you get through a project. I do get Josh being frustrated with chaotic spaces, my husband will put things in the most obscure places to get them out of the way..then he has a hard time remembering where they are, and I'm always finding things in the weirdest places. I think it is so much more efficient and saves so much time to just put things where they belong in the first place..you're putting them somewhere..just as easy to put them in the right place as the wrong place!!

[@judithburke1539]

That's true, but sometimes it might be difficult for him to remember where the "right place" is. He cares enough to be "helpful".

[@amykat5]

I just started reorganizing my kitchen. It’s a long process because I have decades of stuff! I love the containers you use for flour and sugar, etc. I bought some last year. I have three sets of the glass containers! I love them! I’d so much rather have glass than plastic!

Tip for zesting: hold the orange/lemon/lime then turn the file upside down and pull it across the peel. You can see the peel better and can get more of it without having to lift the fruit and see that you are not getting the pith. Cheers

I noticed the lovely sunshine that comes in through the window in your pantry closet, but I was wondering if that could affect the jarred items that the sun is shining directly on?

[@OrganicMommaGA]

We love those Command broom holders! We placed them in the hall closet closest to our kitchen for ease of use, too. Just a tip - if you place a small mat (like a woven welcome mat type) under the shoe rack, it will help keep dust and fuzzies from outside that door from getting kicked under the door (doggies, I'm looking at you!) and the mat will catch miscellaneous debris. Easy to slide the mat from under the shoe rack, shake it outside and replace it under the shoes. Also, a few coat hooks along the slanted back wall of the closet/cupboard under the stairs could be used for other (lightweight) coats or hats.

[@lauriesmith7517]

Becky, a much easier and faster way to grate that orange rind is to put the microplane grate on TOP of the fruit. All the grated peel sits inside it and you just flip it over and tap it to release the rind into the bowl. That way you can also see the spots you missed, too. Have a huge number of towels in a deep drawer, too, I buy them by the dozen and use them for EVERYTHING...except drying dishes! I let those air dry. The back of that closet door is a great spot to hang the mop and broom.

[@marvellac.1525]

I would push the shoe rack to the back wall. The closet would be easier to access. Put the hamper in the front.

[@sheilaholmquist6648]

I totally get the organizing of your kitchen! I have everything in a certain place, it keeps me time efficient when I don't have to search for something. Looks great!!

[@nursesheris8777]

I think your little sun room would make do for a greenhouse til you get yours set up. Put a couple of your tables out there natural light by day grow lights by evening then off over night

[@joyogilvie3639]

How about your sun room for your grow lights and seedlings? The kitchen spring clean is always needed at least once a year. Doing in the winter months inside, because of what can't be done outside makes total sense. Great video and a great use of time invested for peace and calm of running a home and kitchen. One thing I changed over the years is putting my cups, glasses, and measuring cups upside down in cupboards. You will be surprised how better in place measuring cups will stay. Take care.

[@mimiashford5544]

I was going to say the same thing because of all the natural light AND there's quite a bit of space there. It won't be forever, so only a short-lived inconvenience... I wish I had an open sunroom that size to start seeds in, and just grow houseplants in in general!

I learned to put things were they are assigned makes it easier in long run. Then just stuffing stuff does.

[@Jessbensarah]

I am 51 years old and you add ingredients like I do and I love it. If you don't have something or you're low on something and don't want to use it up then use an alternative. Love watching your videos.

[@SybilBrand1969]

Hi Becky. Have you considered lining your drawers with liners? It not only protects your drawers but it’s so much more easier to clean.

[@vivianzuniga8814]

Yes, stuffing things is a really bad habit! Good for you for fixing it!

[@stephaniewest-white2777]

I love to deep clean at least once a year and its the entire house. My grandma told me in her young years and even after she married my grandpa she still did this and so does my mom.

[@cynthiacook7768]

I love those containers! Ordered two sets after seeing yours.

[@lizaguy307]

Thank you for putting all the links below !! I’m excited to get those containers and 5 gallon buckets. LOVE watching you ! I just organized my draws this week too ❤️❤️

[@christineculli1136]

It brings me such joy seeing those baby feet sticking out from your carrier. Precious

[@777LoveStory]

Hey when you open containers it might be better to place the lid top side down so that you don't accidently contaminate what's inside the containers when you put the lids back on.

[@keykey7777777]

These are my favorite kind of videos. So motivating. I need to pack for a trip and instead of putting it off I can in reality probably get it done in 20 minutes hehe. Thanks for bringing us along 🙂

[@retiredinnameonly8429]

I use a string zester and if you use that or peel and freeze dry your zest all the time, you can powder/mince up your frozen/dried zests and never run out!

[@yukonsmomma3562]

Thanks for the organizational inspiration Becky!

[@KeithandPamBilyeu]

Pam here….when we had an attached garage that was huge….I put all the everyday coats and shoes and boots out there with the ‘house slippers’ to put on to keep from tracking in dirt and stuff from yard. I would keep garden clogs or boots by your patio door that leads outside from basement too. Keep your broom closet for your cleaning stuff, extra paper goods, TP, garbage bags, have a pullout garbage can for huge process days in there? The back wall could have shelves. It is something that can keep unsafe stuff away from a toddler. Smile!

[@loisbrisk3917]

Love organising videos, you could get a tall sided basket or lid organiser for the glass container drawer to keep them together and stop them falling off the back 💓

[@geekoutgirl]

Hi... Loved the organization... You asked for opinions on the closet. My thoughts are to put a pole in across, but not at the front of the closet. Rather have the pole be where the shelf ends in the back, left to right. Then you can move the shoe rack to the wall where you currently hang you coats. And still have access to the broom/dog treat area easily. It is also using more of the space in that closet

[@susanmarten278]

My kitchen is the size of a postage stamp.... your kitchen makes me a bit envious!

[@lisawallace3124]

I am incredibly lucky in that my husband loads the dishwasher and I unload it. That way I (the cook) know where all the things are when I'm trying to cook and he doesn't get yelled at for putting things in the wrong place :)

[@iamsdoula]

Kim from over at @The Wads was just talking about your measuring cups

[@monicas2461]

When I saw Becky washing the potatoes with the shoots, it reminded me of when Kim commented on Becky’s potatoes last year! I like how they overlap even though they haven’t done a collaboration.

[@learningcurvenz]

I feel your joy getting those little jobs out of the way Becky, so satisfying. I am looking forward to your garden planning and seed starting. I spent some time doing that myself this year, but we have had the worst, wettest summer on record here in Auckland, New Zealand, though thankfully we didn't personally have any flooding issues. Apart from a small but fabulous crop of runner beans and basil, the vege garden has been a major fail to date. I am hoping to get another round of seeds in and hope that our summer finally arrives. Thanks for sharing your day, always inspiring.

[@susanburd4553]

Id put my favorite cookbooks in the front of those drawers

[@dhunters5]

Perfect inspiration and motivation!! I love making my kitchen more efficient. I'm tackling my pantry cabinets this weekend. Thanks Becky!!
