I agree that glass is so much better. I really try not to use plastic and those mason jars are wonderful to store things. I like this quinoa recipe. I think I'll try it tonight. Isn't nice to purge and clean out after a bust time? I like to get things all back to just so again. Have a good week. xo Kimkim at northerncalstyle.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12710545630442890027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3818151513249030194.post-48812544091811615552016-02-07T16:15:43.084-05:002016-02-07T16:15:43.084-05:00I haven't deep cleaned my refrigerators since ...I haven't deep cleaned my refrigerators since Thanksgiving.

I often reuse glass jars to store leftover soup when I've made a large batch of, for instance, Brunswick Stew. Then I can share the extra soup with my adult children and their families. I especially love the Bonne Maman jam jars and the tiny ones are great for spices. We don't own any plastic storage containers, instead we use the old Pyrex refrigerator containers for our leftovers - these I find at flea markets and yard sales. I agree that a clean, orderly refrigerator leads to more efficient use of resources.

I store loose teas, herbs and nuts in nice recycled jars. I also use them to freeze leftovers. Much healthier than storing food in plastic. Some of the jam jars are so pretty and a perfect size for freezing single servings when I make a big batch of chili or soup and want to thaw just one cup at a time. Your crepe recipe is wonderful!

My mother was a klutz of a homemaker (but a lovely woman) but her mother was at your level and never once put out a meal that wasn't beautifully laid out in every way and as her formative years were in the depths of the depression with a father lost to Spanish Flu, she knew how to stretch a dollar.<br /><br />My new humble abode is right next to a Whole Foods and 75 feet away from a fab Thai joint, value priced.
