Getting Organized with Spice Stack

Getting Organized with Spice Stack

The kitchen is one of my favorite rooms in the house.  If we ever remodel the space, I’d spring for the taller cabinets in order to maximize storage.   You can never have too  much storage right?  For the cabinets I have, I like to keep them organized.  I have bins, baskets, and other accessories [...]

The Keurig B40 – Entry Level K-Cup Brewing

I used to get up every morning and brew a half of a pot or pot of coffee and be bored with it after the first cup.  I whined to my wife about it and kept bugging her to ‘let me’ get a k-cup brewer.  “We have a coffee pot already … why do you [...]
