Welcome to my attempt at sharing the regular mistakes I make in the kitchen. I'm constantly telling friends that I am a disaster in the kitchen, but they rarely believe me, so here is my proof. Step-by-step examples of how I ruin a perfectly good dish. Even though I ruin meals on a regular basis I still love to cook. And I am DETERMINED to become a good cook, or you know, at least make food that is edible on a regular basis.

My Kitchen Tips: Storing flour and sugar
I hate having open bags of flour and sugar all throughout my pantry. It drives me crazy. Plus when I go to use one of them I end up spilling all over the floor. Drives. Me. Crazy. I tell you.
I figured out early on that those cute little canisters for my counter drove me even crazier. They end up being too small to store a usable baking amount of flour or sugar so I ended up filling them all the time. Or pulling out my bag in attempts to not drive myself more crazy.
My solution?
The small buckets in the painting department of Home Depot or Lowe's. I think they were about $2.50 each and the flour bucket holds 10 lbs, plus a little extra; and my sugar holds 20 lbs (if I remember correctly).
They have made me immensely happy. Plus, they fit in my dishwasher so I don't have to hand wash them. *Love*
