Make Chopping a Breeze Those who are new to cooking with lots of produce may not have a great chopping setup. Keep your cutting board and good knives handy, and find a spot where you can create a convenient chopping station — where you can swipe the seeds and stems right into the compost bin, sink or trash.
Organize the Fridge Take everything out, give it a good cleaning, and keep the great food that you’ve made and the produce that needs refrigerating in the front at eye level. Use glass containers to keep the view to these items clear. Instead of creating a jumble in the veggie drawer, place fruit that needs refrigeration in a favorite bowl in the front — that way when you open the fridge for a snack, your eyes will go to it first.
Making tea is a wonderfully relaxing ritual. Sometimes the scent and warm comfort of tea can waylay the urge for a junk food snack. A good new habit is to have a special teatime break in the afternoon. To make this as easy as possible, store and organize the tea bags somewhere handy, and give your favorite teacups and saucers prime kitchen real estate.
