Top tips for re-organising your pantry

Matt from Matt Wineera - Thats Real Estate with Matt Wineera

It's the school holidays get your kids involved 😳 now that you are in pantry cleaning mode👏

Remove
Take everything out.

Discard
Get rid of food that has gone off or is well past its use-by date. 🥺

Regroup
Separate foods into groups of like items, eg baking supplies, spices, spreads, snacks, etc.

Label
Labelling your containers not only looks good, but it also makes it easier to see what you have at a glance.

Rehome
Put your food items back into the pantry, keeping in mind that the foods you use the most need to be the most accessible. eg if you don’t bake regularly, put your flour, sugar and baking powder on the top shelf. Spreads, cereals and everyday items should be easy to access.

Review and declutter seasonally.

Suellen’s sweet Christmas tradition

Bob Owens Retirement Village

The festive season is always a great excuse to indulge your sweet tooth, and this time of year poses the perfect opportunity to bring a real showstopper to the Christmas table.

For Suellen’s family, that showstopper is Croquembouche, an impressive tower of cream puffs bound together with spun sugar that is popular at weddings in France and Italy.

What began as a birthday treat at a local French café has become a cherished Christmas tradition for Suellen and her 17-year-old twin granddaughters, Ellie and Sadie. Every year, the trio gather in Suellen’s apartment at William Sanders Village to cook this festive dessert - a holiday highlight they all treasure.
