The average American kitchen has a whopping 1,019 items but the truth is you actually need, much, much less. That's right: minimalist kitchens still cook. Here's how to declutter the most important room in your home; here's how to simplify cooking for a family the minimalist way, too.

 

 

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.

But if we’re not careful, the minimalist aesthetic can become just another thing to buy, another thing to consume. 

On today’s show, Melora Johnson deconstructs the modern minimalist movement so that each of us can move from the clutter-free, beige-everything  minimalist aesthetic to a deeper, more sustainable practice rooted in intentionality.
