Organizing, decluttering, and some family favorites

As 2025 comes to a close, I am spending my time as I always do, with a kitchen cleanout.

This year, since I don't have as much to cleanout, I am also updating some of my organization and decor. 

While I am organizing, I am enjoying some family classic meals like Mom's Texas Chili and Grandma's Ham Loaf Meatballs aka Ham Balls. I added some green pepper and cauliflower rice to add some veggies to the chili. 

Some basic tips for decluttering:

1. Have you used it in the last 6 months to 1 year?

2. Is it expired?

3. Do you enjoy/like it? 

4. Is it broken?

5. Do you have duplicates?

If you keep these questions in mind while you go through your kitchen it will help you organize and declutter.

Remember you can always give items away, sell, recycle, donate.
