Chances are you only deep clean your fridge and freezer once or twice a year. With Thanksgiving only a few weeks away, I suggest you take the time now to prepare your fridge for the feast.
Get rid of old condiments or Tupperware and wipe down the shelves. That way, when you come home with a huge supply of ingredients for the big day, the fridge will be ready and waiting.
If your turkey is frozen, make sure to clear off an entire shelf for it to defrost. After you've enjoyed your meal, you can use that shelf to store leftovers!

It is no joke that when overwhelmed by choices, we tend to have less willpower. Why order a salad from a restaurant menu full of variations of lasagna? When trying to curb unhealthy eating habits or to lose weight, a fridge full of food can be a mental minefield. Here's a simple trick: only buy enough groceries to last you for two to three days instead of stocking up on tons of food. Yes, you will be heading to the supermarket with a greater frequency, but your produce and meat will be super fresh. This way your fridge will only be filled with healthy choices, making it easier to stick to your meal plan. A couple more perks to this plan — the chances of forgotten food going bad will decrease because it will be easier to eat all that you have. When buying fewer groceries you can bike to the store and just fill up a backpack, burning some calories while stocking up.
Although it's a dirty job, someone has to clean out the refrigerator. Especially if you cook at home often, it's best to get rid of old milk before it spoils. I clean my fridge out once a week, but if you haven't checked the contents of the cheese drawer in a while, I suggest you start your Spring cleaning now. Here's what you should do to maintain a pristine, fresh-smelling fridge.
Got roommates who steal your food? What you need is a flatshare fridge! This creative fridge consists of a base fridge and four stackable pieces that allow each user to have a private fridge. Made for the Electrolux Design Lab Competition by Austrian designer Stefan Buchberger, the flatshare — which comes in a variety of colors — can be customized to include a bottle opener or whiteboard. I think this fridge is incredibly clever, but wonder if the small compartment could hold all of my culinary needs. What do you think?
When I lived with housemates, the main points of contention in our shared living situation involved the kitchen. There were the piles of dirty dishes, and then there was the messy, rotten food-filled fridge. I like the idea of this stacking fridge from Electrolux, which allows people living in multiple-housemate situations to keep their personal food in each separate compartment. This would've saved me a lot of time cleaning out my housemates' way-beyond-expiration-date foodstuffs, had it been around five years ago. The fridge seems to still be in the concept stage, and I haven't turned up any information on energy efficiency yet (my guess is it's going to be an energy hog), so I can't give this design my endorsement until then. Do you live in a housemate situation? If so, would you be interested in a fridge like this, or do you think it might cause even more cleaning issues in your home?

On today's date, Feb. 21, in 1994 Whirlpool began producing a new type of refrigerator. The more efficient and improved fridge functioned without freon — a component that is bad for the atmosphere. To commemorate the fridge's first step towards becoming green, I've put together a fun little quiz. I've found images of refrigerators throughout time and you have to choose what year they were manufactured in. Sound like fun? Take the quiz now!

I truly enjoy going to the grocery store. I like to bring the girls along and use it as an educational errand and teach them that a piece of fruit and fruit snacks are not the same thing. I do get to take more time when I am by myself and really read all the nutritional labels - but that is another story.
If you spend a lot of money on your produce (especially if they are organic), you don't want them to go to waste. On average, American families end up trashing 14% of the food they buy because it spoils. Here are some tips on how to store your groceries so they can last long enough for you to enjoy them.

You've probably been here before: you're cleaning out the fridge and you get to that open jar of mayonnaise. You wonder how long it's been there, and when you opened it.
