It’s Spring! Or is it…it seems like most of my family and friends see that the calendar indicates spring, but really it still feels like winter where they are. Even in here in California where we usually have very little to complain about when it comes to the weather…it has been unseasonably cold and rainy. Regardless, it's time to shake off that dinner rut and dive into a Complete Kitchen Refresh!

I have a theory that the ease of cooking weeknight dinner is far more impacted by the things contained behind your kitchen cabinets and in your kitchen drawers that what it looks like on the outside.  Not only that but the importance of those things having a designated space where they live in order.

This week kicks off The Complete Kitchen Refresh, are you in?

(both agree that there’s a time and a place for nuggets!) They discuss their mutual love for “the world’s greatest pan” and how they both think you can never have too many “bins” in your kitchen. They finish by discussing Kylie’s biggest ever food fail that they’ll never stop laughing about!
