Prep Your Pantry for Turkey day 🦃

🍽️ An organized pantry saves time and reduces stress. Knowing exactly what you have on hand makes cooking and hosting easier, especially during the busy holiday season. It eliminates the time spent searching for ingredients or running to the store mid-recipe. Plus, a well-organized pantry helps streamline meal prep, letting you spend more time enjoying the festivities with family and guests. Keep reading to discover our favorite pantry products and recipes our team is looking forward to this Thanksgiving!

🥫 DONATE: A pantry edit now can help support your community. As you sort through your pantry, it’s the perfect time to set aside any unopened, unused food you know you won’t use. Food banks are in greater need during the holiday season, and donating non-perishable items can make a meaningful impact. Clearing space while giving back to those in need is a win-win!

🤑 PREVENT OVERBUYING AND SAVE MONEY: Organizing your pantry helps avoid duplicate purchases and keeps food waste to a minimum, so your holiday spending stays under control. When you know exactly what you have, it’s easier to plan meals around what’s available, reducing the need for unnecessary shopping trips. In the long run, this approach saves money and ensures you’re using up food before it expires, keeping your pantry clutter-free.

GET SORTED: Start by pulling everything out and checking expiration dates. Toss expired items, and pass along anything in good condition that you won’t use. Then, group similar items—like baking supplies, canned goods, and snacks—and use containers and labels to make everything easy to find. This step will not only create more space but will also make your pantry feel more intentional and functional.

🧂 PRODUCTS: Turntables are perfect for keeping condiments and oils easily accessible. Bins work well for grouping snacks and meal essentials, while can risers allow you to stack canned goods and spices neatly. Large baskets are great for items like chips and bagged crackers. Airtight containers are my go-to for storing baking ingredients to keep them fresh and easy to access throughout the holiday season.
