0:00.0	If you already have a clear sense of how you'd like to organize your refrigerator, put your items in whatever categories make sense to you.
0:12.2	For example, I keep all of my refrigerated, quote unquote, kid snacks like cheese sticks, baby bells, hummus, in one drawer that the boys know is theirs.
0:23.5	That way, when they're looking for a snack, they know the one place they can look
0:27.5	instead of rummaging through my neatly organized fridge.
0:32.7	Welcome to didn't I just feed you.
0:35.2	A podcast about feeding kids.
0:39.1	Hey, I'm Stacy. And I'm Megan didn't I just feed you? A podcast about feeding kids. Hey, I'm Stacy and I'm Megan. Today we're answering a listener's question, which you know is one of our favorite things to do about how to reset your kitchen.

1:45.2	for family cooks and busy home cooks for countless years. Decades. I know, guys, we look good.
1:53.9	We've been around. You might not know it. It's been really important. It's been a core part of
2:00.6	both of our personal work and our work together
