The holidays are a wonderful time to celebrate health, friends, family, and, of course, good food. Just look in any grocery store circular and you’ll see that baking ingredients are featured right on the front page. However, stocking your kitchen for all your baking projects can be a little overwhelming. You don’t want leftover ingredients, but you also don’t want to waste time by running to the store every twenty minutes.
Below is a list of tips to help you keep your kitchen stocked and organized as you embark on a marathon of baking holiday goodies in the kitchen at your Lady Lake apartment:
- Organize your recipes. Once you know which recipes you’d like to use and what quantities of each you want to bake, making a grocery list will be much simpler.
- Start clipping coupons for the ingredients that you’ll need, or check to see if any local grocery stores have buy-one-get-one deals or double coupon days.
- Stock all non-refrigerated ingredients first, such as nuts, preserves, peanut butter, cake mix, pudding powder, chocolate chips, canned items, and dried fruits.
- Buy extra baking staples like flour, sugar, milk, butter, eggs, cooking oil, and vanilla extract.
- Invest in a small stock of decorative items for your baked goods to give them some holiday flair. Most local craft stores, supermarkets, and specialty grocers carry items like colored sugar, pastry bags and piping tips for icing, and candy decorations.
With a spacious kitchen, lots of counter space, a glass-top stove, and a roomy pantry, the kitchen in your Lady Lake apartment at The Quarters will be perfect for all your baking and cooking projects.
