Step 1: Declutter and Deep Clean Your Kitchen

The first step to holiday kitchen prep is decluttering and giving your space a deep clean. Remove expired items from your pantry, fridge, and freezer, and donate non-perishables you won’t need. Once the clutter is cleared, focus on cleaning surfaces, cabinets, and appliances.

Step 2: Organize Your Tools and Supplies

A well-organized kitchen saves time and reduces stress. Arrange your pantry items, spices, and baking tools in a way that makes sense for your cooking flow. Use clear containers for dry goods, and label everything for easy access.

Step 4: Stock Your Cleaning Supplies

Holiday messes are inevitable, but you can stay ahead by keeping cleaning supplies within reach. Use a system that lets you wipe counters, clean up spills, and wash tools as you go.
