06: Kid-Friendly, Efficient Kitchen Tour

September 11, 2018

We believe in kids being independent. -Katie Kimball

Want a peek into my real kitchen?

I’m often asked what my kitchen set-up is like, and today I’m inviting you all into my somewhat orange-ish, ugly kitchen to share some gems of organization and efficiency.

My hope for you families and parents is that you get just one little tip today, or two or three, that can help change your kitchen for the better!

Can’t see the video? Click to watch “Kid Friendly Efficient Kitchen” on YouTube.

No time to watch the whole video? Here are the notes!

Efficient Kitchen

2:35: The huge organization rule I BREAK and why I think you should too!
3:30: How we keep things kid-friendly, to empower kids to help out in the kitchen with cooking and cleaning up.

4:23: Why our grains and beans are the most organized part of the kitchen
4:41: My brilliant efficiency idea that’s stuck to the fridge

“Mooooom, I’m hungry!!”

How many times do your kids ask for snacks each day? Wouldn’t it be a relief if they were empowered to prepare their own snacks, instead of coming to you and whining about how hungry they are?

5:04: Smoothie efficiency (some things we put in smoothies: collagen, dehydrated greens and more from Perfect Supplements, the others I mentioned are from Thrive Market.)
5:27: What’s stuck to the inside of my cupboards (from this post)
6:45: My system for organizing my drawers. (It’s different from most people!)
8:54: Why that darn drawer won’t close (but I’m ok with it – our fav reusable bags)

Kids know where things are, they can get them out and they can put them away, and that’s really important to me. -Katie

Do you love that Leah (10yo) was starting to cook dinner? I was totally getting in her way! 😉

Here’s our resources page where you can find a lot of the items you see (tongs, cast iron griddle, favorite knives).
