Get Your Kitchen Ready!

It's back to school week, and almost time for another season of LifeDirt produce boxes! With the beautiful disarray that summer often brings, now is the time to declutter and organize your kitchen in order to get ready for your produce box!

First off, use what you already have! Look through your fridge and cupboards and see what's nearing expiration, then place that somewhere visible (like the front of fridge or on your counter) and make a plan to use it this week. You can have some creative kitchen time this week, using up all your remaining food from the summer. Funky salads, smoothies, pasta dishes, pizzas. Have fun!

While you're organizing your kitchen, take this time to clean it too! You'll thank yourself later.

Once you've started using up what food you already have, start making space for the produce that's about to arrive in your box next week. If you're planning to add some grains or other add-on grocery items, make space for those as well.

Do you have animals in your house? Clear off a space for your produce box that your little furry friends won't reach. At least if they're veggie lovers like mine!

You can even make space for your empty banana box so you can keep it until you bring it with you when you return for your next box pickup.

Once you receive our content list for the produce box next week, it's time to start thinking of meal ideas!
