Refrigerator Organization Video
You’ve seen our dream Kitchen Tour and our Pantry Tour. We’ve had so many requests for a fridge tour so here it is. Enjoy this video tour.
The Before…
This is what stocking your fridge without a plan looks like. We often had things that went to waste, or we ended up buying things twice when we didn’t realize we still had it on hand. When things are organized, it’s easier to remember how much eggs or celery you have left.
And After…
Here is how our fridge looks now, so neat and organized. I’m inspired to cook every time I open it. It looks fancy but it’s actually way more practical and foods stay fresh longer because we are storing things correctly.
How to Organize Your Refrigerator
We hired Anna of Neat Method to help with organizing our refrigerator and freezer (Anna also helped us organize our Huge Pantry). Anna’s team spent hours deep cleaning, pulling everything out then reorganizing everything efficiently. Having a professional organize a space is such a treat. We included notes for all of the food storage and organization tools that Anna brought. I hope this post inspires you to organize your refrigerator.
Tips for Refrigerator Organization
Recipes for Meal Prep
Here are the Recipes that we mentioned having stocked in the refrigerator and freezer. We make these on the regular rotation because it makes meal planning and healthy eating easier.
Borscht – classic beet soupRicotta Pancakes – reheat them in the toasterBerry Arugula Salad with goat cheeseCorn Tortillas for Fish Tacos or Shrimp Tacos White Rice – for Fried RiceGreek Yogurt – with our Homemade Granola for breakfast parfaitsCowboy Caviar – make-ahead friendly
P.S. We keep that small milk container in the fridge for our dreamy Jura Espresso Machine that I told you about in our Kitchen Tour.
Fridge Storage and Organization Containers
Clear Tupperware ContainersLazy Susan Turntable – for condiments and saucesStasher Bags – re-useable, plastic-free bagsPlastic Bins – stackable ones are greatEgg Holder – we love the larger 18-countFoodsaver – vacuum sealing will keep your foods fresh much longer, especially meats (salami, prosicuotto, deli meat) and cheeses.
A Peek at the Freezer
We love freezer friendly recipes and love to stock foods like:
Pierogi – with cheesy potato fillingPelmeni – meat-filled dumplingsShrimp Meat for our Ceviche obsessionGround beef for the best homemade burgers. Pie Dough – for a quick galette Steaks for a yummy Pan-Seared SteakFocaccia – thaws beautifully
We also keep bags of homegrown berries as well as dill and chives and we store frozen lemon juice and zest when we get a ton of lemons from my Mom-in-law.
Which Refrigerator do we Have?
If anyone is curious, we have a stainless steel built-in Thermador Refrigerator. It is counter-depth with a 30″ wide panel for the refrigerator and an 18″wide panel for the freezer.
