About

       The kitchen gets some well deserved attention here. That's appropriate for the most important space in the house. Our approach to preparing and eating food is critical to our quality of life and health.  I'll post some original, useful and sometimes unusual ideas about food, kitchen organization and weight control.
       The kitchen is a food workshop, a place where tools (utensils), appliances and foods come together to make healthy meals. I’ll show you some of my ideas on organizing the many parts and pieces of the modern kitchen, including How to organize a utensil drawer .
      One of the principles of this kitchen is wholesome home-cooked meals. I strive to find and share ways to make food preparation easier. I'm also looking for ways to save money in the process. I believe that our issues with excess weight and poor health are due to consuming too many processed and restaurant meals. We need to eat more simple home- cooked meals. The fact is, the food and restaurant industries are interested in profits, not our weight and health.
      Thank you for stopping by to visit the Slim and Trim Kitchen. I hope you find some of these ideas useful.
