Have you been hit by an urge to spring clean in the past week? Actually, it’s very normal to get this feeling at this time of the year. Even though we’ve marked the beginning of wintertime with shorter days and longer nights ahead, it feels more like we’ve passed onto another phase. And so, this week, I’ve found myself clearing the cupboards and presses; checking the dates on my foodstuffs and cleaning out the fridge.
It's a very good idea to do this clear-out and stocktake every couple of months, if not more frequently. It helps me plan our meals around what we have, as opposed to what I think we have. I’ve discovered the products we are using a lot of (rice and pasta) and the items we are not (plain sugar, honestly).
