Kitchen Management

Monday is Kitchen Management day here.   You pick you day to fit into your schedule.   Kitchen Management is a tool that saves a lot of time and money.   Time because you set up to do kitchen chores and get more done setting up once instead of several times during the week.   Base your list on things to be cleaned and the recipes you will cook for the week.   Just as with a meal plan, grouping ingredients , especially ones that need to be used up, saves money because you are not wasting and saves time because you set up once. Dinner time is a snap with dinner prep done.  It cuts dinner prep down considerably during that busy, hectic dinner hour.

Reminder of Meal Plans :

• Hamburgers, ancient grain salad, tomatoes w basil and olive oil 
• Pizza 
• Baked potato bar 
• Pork Roast/sliders; baked potatoes , glazed carrots 
• Salmon, sweet potatoes,  green beans
• Salad 
• Breakfast for dinner. 

Prep: 

1. Wash kitchen floor 
2. Clean out refrigerator and dump anything dead and clean the ice maker drip pan. 
3. Put the stove vent filter through the dishwasher. 
4. Wash and disinfect counters  and sinks and drains.
5. Wash potatoes and carrots with vinegar water:  designated brush.  
6. Wash tomatoes 
7. Straighten pantry.
