There's something about fall that makes us want to gather. Around a cozy fire, tailgating before a football game, a weekend gathering after a farmers market trip, and pre-holiday get togethers. My favorite place to gather? The kitchen. Hands down! There's just something about friends and family gathered in a kitchen ~ with delicious smells wafting through the room, laughter, and conversation all around, and of course, a little taste testing along the way. There's no better

While helping my clients organize their kitchens I'm discovering so many great tools. Yes, organizational items but also useful gadgets to make cooking more fun and less work. If you love freshly grated Parmesan but don't love dragging out the box grater, I have a little kitchen tool you might want to know about: the rotary cheese grater. It's one of those simple gadgets that can make a surprisingly big difference. Add a chunk of Parmesan, turn the handle and in seconds yo

Today I was contemplating kids returning to school in a few weeks and remembering how my girls always wanted me to pack their lunches. They weren't keen on eating at the shcool cafeteria - can't say I blamed them. I knew if I filled their lunch boxes with foods they liked they would actually eat their lunch.

If you are not familiar with this chef and humanitarian extraordinaire, read about him here. My dream of one day being able to work with his World Central Kitchen to

Peaches Peaches are abundant right now. The farmers markets have basket after basket full, filling the air with that sweet smell that only comes from a juicy, summer peach. There are so many delicous recipes for peaches and honestly one of my favorite ways to savor a peach is simply to slice one in half, remove the pit and stand over the sink to enjoy it, while the sweet juice drips down my chin. Today I am sharing a delicious recipe for Peach Upside-Down Cake. Leave me a c

There is something special about gathering around the kitchen island or table with friends and family, learning something new, and sharing a meal you've created together. I've always believed the kitchen is the heart of the home, and when it's organized to fit the way you live and cook, it's a place you'll naturally want to spend more time. That's exactly why I'm excited to introduce a new season of Honey Can Cook classes, along with kitchen organization and consultation ser

"Work smarter, not harder." It's a phrase my daughter recently shared with me. Although she wasn't specifically talking about kitchens, the idea stuck. The more I thought about it, the more I realized how perfectly it applies to the way we cook, organize, and live in our homes. So many of us spend time searching for ingredients, digging through crowded cabinets, working around cluttered countertops, or trying to prepare meals in kitchens that simply don't support the way we
