The refrigerator clean out

 

This week at the Weight Watcher's meeting, they talked about spring cleaning your fridge.  Their main point being to set yourself up for success.  If you put healthy stuff where you see it and have it ready to go, you'll probably default to that rather than something else.

But that's not what I heard.  I heard, "you can put your veggies and fruits in a basket on a middle shelf and use those crisper drawers for condiments."

This has NOTHING to do with making healthy things available and EVERYTHING to do with getting rid of that annoying top shelf of various things that we almost never use.  Those myriad bottles and jars of differing sizes all shoved up there were almost as horrible as the plastic bowl/lid dilemma, which I solved for myself last year.

So, I spent a good hour and a half, at least, removing everything from my fridge and cleaning, disposing, rinsing, recycling, rearranging the contents.  The results? Spectacular!

Top shelf - yogurt, cottage cheese, other things in small containers
Second shelf - meat/cheese basket, tortillas, eggs (anyone need eggs? We have 6 dozen!)

Third shelf - vegetable basket, jars
Fourth shelf - tall things, leftovers, fruit 
Drawers - condiments!!!


Rest assured, Brian will hate it, much as he hated the absence of plastic bowls/lids from his life.  But I'M happy, and that's all that matters.  For the moment anyway, because he's not home yet ;)
