Some people have to store things in the oven, due to limited space in cabinets or on counters, in my first apartment I had exactly 1 cabinet, and about 2x2 foot square of counter space. (Needless t...

Every time I've gone to ikea, they've been out of stock.
I thought they would make lovely containers for flavored vinegars and mustards for homemade gifts. One of th...
Great Tip! I keep both a dry erase marker and a permanent marker in my kitchen too. I've also started keeping a roll of blue painter's tape for making quick labels. Sure, they aren't as pretty as a...
