Take a Look at TulaneJeff's Awesome NOLA Kitchen

If you cook in a tiny, big-city kitchen, be prepared: what I'm about to show you might make you jealous.

If you cook in a tiny, big-city kitchen, be prepared: what I'm about to show you might make you jealous. Recently, I asked everyone to share their kitchens in the Savory Sights group in the YumSugar Community, and here we have our first enviable kitchen!

TulaneJeff lives in New Orleans where he has a modest-sized kitchen with lovely green walls and black granite countertops. It's expertly organized with matching storage jars and neat stacks of white plates. What I love most are the little details: the fish-related artwork, the bottle cap collection, the voodoo dolls, and the always party-ready Mardi Gras beads.

It's these special touches that bring Jeff's kitchen to life. To check it out, read more

Help: My New Kitchen Only Has One Drawer!

Moving is not easy.

Moving is not easy. First, I had to search for a decent kitchen. Then I had to prioritize my needs — yes I must have a dishwasher and an island. Next I had to pack the entire kitchen and my extensive recipe collection.

Finally, I've officially moved in, start to unpack, and realize that my new kitchen only has one drawer. One drawer. With all my serving ware, utensils, bar tools, random gadgets (egg poacher, immersion blender, etc.), and food storage (foil, parchment paper, saran wrap, etc.), I definitely need more than one drawer. What should I do? Put a dresser in the kitchen?

Get a food storage shelving unit? Help readers! I would love to hear your advice.

Simple Tip: Label Plastic Wrap With Cheese's First Initial

Thanks to Say Cheese!, my weekly series featuring different types of cheese, the charcuterie drawer in my refrigerator is full of cheese.

Thanks to Say Cheese!, my weekly series featuring different types of cheese, the charcuterie drawer in my refrigerator is full of cheese. However, when the packaging is removed and the cheese is partially grated, many of them look the same. To ensure that I don't confuse the pecorino with the parmesan, I've started labeling them.

Here's how you do it: instead of writing out the cheese's entire name, simply write the first initial, like A for asaigo or R for romano. For easy identification, use a thick, colored Sharpie. Place the labeled cheese in the drawer with the initial facing up.

Are you an avid cheese eater? How do you distinguish one opened cheese from the other?
