Sharing is caring!
As we say goodbye to April showers and patiently await the beauty and fragrance of May flowers, now is the perfect time to do a little spring cleaning and refresh.
In October of 2021, I realized I no longer had the comfortable, relaxed feeling I should when in my home. It occurred to me that I had not done a clearout in my kitchen; heck, I hadn’t done a clearout at all.
So I started my organizing journey with my kitchen:
- I did a clearout of every cabinet and drawer.
- I went through everything in my kitchen and disposed of expired food and spices.
- I donated or sold dishes, utensils, cookware, etc., that I no longer used.
- Then I moved and organized for a better layout.
- I donated some items and listed a few for sale.
After the clean-out, I cleaned up. I gave the cabinets a good clean and made a list of items I wanted to replace or add to my collection. My goal was to be intentional with the new things I sourced. In addition, I tried to keep in mind to opt for the more sustainable version. I found some great gems on Amazon. I have listed them for you below with a link.
Let get started
21 of my Amazon Favorites for my kitchen
Ninja DZ100 Foodi 4-in-1, 8-qt., 2-Basket Air Fryer with DualZone Technology
The Ninja air fryer has changed the game for me. I cook more often than I used to. This air fryer is excellent. It is easy to make a healthy meal, and the clean-up is super quick. In addition, I have noticed the taste of my dish prepared in the air fryer is a lot better. I didn’t think I would use it as often as I have or that I would love it as much as I do. Since purchasing the Ninja air fryer, my weekly meal prep time no longer takes me 2 hours; I finish in less than 45 minutes.
For busy families, I give this a 10 out of 10 and highly recommend it. To see the one I purchased, click here.
Airtight Glass Storage Canister with Bamboo Lid
Late last year, I decided to do a little kitchen refresh and wanted something clean and sustainable. I wasn’t looking to generate more work or limit myself to labels. So when I came across the airtight glass storage canisters with bamboo lids in a few size options, I was excited. I ordered two sets in different sizes, and they work perfectly.
I liked that I didn’t have to go the extra step and label them, allowing flexibility in refilling the container with something different. To see the set I purchased, click here.
12 Pcs Glass Spice Jars with Bamboo Lids and 114 Labels
Well, we can safely assume I like to be a little different. I didn’t want the round jar when looking for spice jars. When I saw an option for a square jar, I added it to the cart and purchased them. I like them so much that I ordered a second set. The jars hold up to 9oz. The set comes with 114 preprinted labels and a few blank ones for customization. To see the set I love, click here.
Handcrafted Olive Wood Salt Spoons or Scoops/Shovels Set
I appreciate a beautifully handcrafted piece of wood, and when turned into a tool I could use daily is even better. I found the perfect set of spoons handcrafted from olive wood. I use them in my collagen, sugar, and salt. To see the set I love, click here.
VENO 4 Pack Reusable Grocery Shopping Bag With Reinforced Hard bottom
To make small changes for mother earth, I found these reusable grocery bags on Amazon. Not sure of the quality; but I purchased them anyway. They are perfect! There is a pocket on the side if you want to keep a pen and paper with you for making lists or your phone in. I use these bags for everything from the groceries, farmers’ markets, and the garden center. The bags fold up for easy storage and wipe clean. To see the set I carry everywhere, click here.
Need more space? Give these shelf organizers a try. They are adjustable and stackable. I live in an apartment, and I am happy to try anything I can use to offer more space. I have two sets of shelves, and they help me organize my plates and coffee cups. To see the set I purchased twice, click here.
I was looking for some way to store the lids to my pots and ran across this dish drying rack. It fits perfectly in my cabinet and holds pot lids. Simple but effective. To see the one I purchased, click here.
Kootek 6 Pcs Bamboo Drawer Organizer Utensil Tray
The drawers in my kitchen are slightly larger than most. Unfortunately, the utensil tray I was using was too small and left an awkward amount of space on the side. I was hoping to find a tray that would fit my drawer and give extra room for storage, and this tray does it. I can keep my utensils in the center and coffee spoons and tea accessories on the sides.
To see the perfect adjustable drawer tray, click here.
Kootek 6 Pcs Bamboo Drawer Organizer
During my kitchen clearout and refresh, I wanted to organize the miscellaneous spoons and gadgets. Unfortunately, the traditional utensil tray was too large for my drawer. So I decided to get the individual organizers to see if it would work. It did! I am so happy with how organized the drawer looks. To see the organizers I purchased, click here.
Bekith 2 Pack Large Glass Food Storage Container with Airtight Wooden Lid
These jars are perfect for pasta, sugar, candy, or anything else you need to store in an airtight container. I use them for my collagen and chia seeds. I paired mine with the olive wood spoons. To see the pair I have, click here.
No-Tox Life Dish Washing Block Soap
LESES Dish Brush Natural Bamboo Dish Scrub Brush Set
I am trying to live a more sustainable life and making intentional decisions when replacing certain supplies. I replaced my liquid dish soap with the No-Tox dish soap and the natural dish brush set. I am very impressed with the dish soap; it powers through grease but is gentle on my hands. The brush set and dish soap are one of my favorite kitchen tools.

In-Drawer Bamboo Knife Block Holds 12 Knives
Keeping with the organizing and bamboo theme, I needed a safe way to store my knives. I spent a lot on quality, so I wanted something to keep them separated. This knife block is slim and holds all of my knives. If you would like to see the one I have, click here.

E-Cloth Home Cleaning Set, Premium Microfiber Cleaning Cloth, Household Cleaning
When I decided to cut back on the plastic and chemicals I brought into my home; I searched Amazon for options. These clothes were a recommendation, and I decided to try them. I recommend them with a 10 out of 10. I no longer purchase cleaning supplies. Instead, I use water for my mirrors and windows with the blue cloth for a perfect shine. To sanitize my hard spaces, I use alcohol in a spray bottle with the appropriate cleaning cloth for counters. These cloths are next level. I encourage you to check them out; click here for my set.

Another game-changer. I purchased this organizer in two different configurations. I use one for my medicine/pain reliever and the other under my sink to keep my cast iron pan scraper, wash rags/sponges, and sink stopper. Click here to see my options.
And last but certainly not least.
Lunch Bags for Women Insulated Thermal Lunch Tote
I needed a little more oversized lunch tote than the one I was currently using and found this insulated tote. Since I frequent the beach often, I hoped I could use it then. The tote comes in several color options and sizes. To check out the one I have, click here.
