Bulk Up with Kitchen Porn

#HealthUpYourHome

Bulk Up with Kitchen Porn
August Pin-Up: Bulk Food
 
I can spend hours on my Pinterest page pinning kitchen organization "porn".  I'm not going to lie, the inside of my cabinets have labels on them  (Micah made me hide them off to the side because he was embarrassed.)  and I go crazy for little containers and drawer separators.  Not exactly the "porn" you had in mind?  

I recently scored these lovely glass containers and have been excitedly filling them with bulk item goodies like brown rice, quinoa, barley, lentils, sunflower seeds, nuts, dried fruits, and steel cut oats.  It's one way to ensure that I always have a staple on hand for dinner.  And they are pretty enough to leave out so they aren't taking up all my precious NYC cabinet space.  

I'm working on adding chalk board paint labels to all of them to help lesson the confusion for non-Joanie chef's in the kitchen.  :) 

Do you shop the bulk bins at your grocery store?  What's your favorite item?  What do you always have on hand? Leave your comment below, tweet  (#HealthUpYourHome), or post on the Motivated Nutrition Facebook page


In bulky health,

  1. We ALWAYS take advantage of the bulk section. We love purchasing spices in bulk because they are fresher than the shelf items and much less expensive. Since I have been baking, I have also taken advantage of the different types of flour that are always way too expensive when prepackaged (rye, almond, etc.).

    I will admit that I am a little obsessed with dried corn and dried peas. They are a great healthy and slightly salty afternoon snack.

    And yes, we too are obsessed with different containers for storing all of these great finds!
