Did you know? The average American kitchen holds a whopping 1,019 items.

Yet professional chefs argue that fully functioning kitchens demand *just* 16 items. No need to spend an arm + a leg on top of the line models, either: you, too, can whip up delectable meals with just 16 items that cost under $300 total.

This week, I’m dabbling in the concepts of minimalists kitchens + minimalist cooking with simplicity wellness coach Mirley Guerra Graf.

Mirley believes that healthy living starts in a minimalist kitchen; I agree. On today’s episode we identify the gadgets you need, the gadgets you don’t need + how, exactly, to declutter the heart of your home.

If cooking for your household is a stress-inducing affair, you’ll want to stick around for Mirley’s tips on making healthy meals without extra work, too.
