I’ve realized the little habits in the kitchen make the biggest difference. Wiping down counters while I cook, keeping knives sharp, and always rinsing dishes right away saves me headaches later.

It’s not about being perfectly tidy—it’s about making the kitchen a place I enjoy spending time in. I love when I can walk in and feel like it’s ready for whatever I want to make, instead of a stressful mess.

Cooking feels so much smoother when the small habits are in place.
