This week's WFMW edition has a theme: kitchen organization. Unfortunately, I don't have any stunning photos to share with you. Right now, I really like our kitchen. It is just the right size and everything is pretty easily accessible. But that's just luck with the layout, not rocket science. So anyways, I am going to share about something I do to stay organized when I am working in the kitchen.
You need to know that by nature, I am a very messy baker and cook. Not a messy person, just messy when I am concocting in the kitchen. Stuff gets everywhere, and I don't know how. Especially flour. So, here's what I do: (It might seem like more work, but it really helps me stay focused and keep things under control.)
1. First, I set out all the ingredients.
2. Then, after I add each ingredient to the recipe, I put it away. Considering the pantry and fridge are 3-5 steps away, it is not an inconvenience.
This may not seem like a big deal, but it helps me remember what I've added. And, it keeps the workspace clearer, which in turn, motivates me to keep it cleaner. It also helps the post cooking clean-up be much less daunting by only having dishes to do and a counter to wipe. Might be silly, but it works for me!

LOL - I had to laugh reading your post, because I am KNOWN as the messiest cook ever. Now, it is commonly thought that what comes out of my kitchen tastes pretty good, but it's quite a sight getting to that point, LOL. My Motto is: "If you didn't make a mess, you didn't do it right, and you certainly didn't have enough fun!"
Blessings!
I do the same thing! I put everything away right after I use it. My husband and sons get so frustrated because they'll want to go back and use something and it will be gone!
