How to organize fridge - My fridge tour

This is one of the most excited posts I would like to share since sometime and many of you have been waiting for it. I will take you in a tour in my fridge.

First of all I like to label EVERYTHING. I know people will make some fun of me but I don't care. I just like to label because it feels awesome and very neat for me. It is easy for me to organize like this. If I have a family guest s/he will feel comfortable to open the fridge and pick whatever to help me cooking or to eat something.

Let us start by the very first shelf in the fridge. My fridge is neither too small nor too big. It's normal size.

The first shelf has all things we have in breakfast or simple light dinner, i.e all things we get from grocery like cheeses, olives, pickles, halvah, pastrami and luncheon. I like always to put them into boxes in order to not leak anywhere or dry or have a bad smell in the fridge.

For the second and third shelves, I really like them because I used to put fruits and veggies in colanders and wash them , leave them to dry whenever I came from the hyper market. It feels AWESOME picking fruits to eat without any offer to wash them. Or to make a salad on the spot with no wash. Everything is dried and clean I really like that.

The last shelf is for juice and soda as well as for leftovers from dinner. I managed to put fridge coasters for all shelves but I felt I will not see the beauty of my fridge in fruits and veggies colors and stuff. So I put one coaster in the last shelf because I believe it will prevent soda bottles from moving around :) .

In the bottom drawer I have snacks in extra colanders and dry goods that I believe that they last longer in the fridge.Let's have a look inside

Some chocolate bars and my home-made lazy cake. I like to make lazy cakes for breakfast when my baby cries all day long I need something to give me power and at the same time ready to eat. On the right I have tamarind, wheat germs etc..Let's move to the door.

We have water in the fridge because we live in a hot weather country specially in summer,  so we need cold fresh water everyday.

the first shelf of the door I have medicine that need to be cold and eggs. I know the door is the warmest place in the fridge. But I don't have the problem of the door cooling issue specially with eggs just because I bought the fridge with already a place here for the egg, so I believe this is the right place for it. The second shelf has my baby ready-made and home-made food. Anyway I use this food during four days maximum, so I am not worry about the door cooling issue.

Next shelf has all condiments we use while cooking or eating. just a quick tip here if you have your Romano cheese dried for any reason just put it in the food processor and you can add it on salad, pasta, pizza and any other kind of food. They are tasty. There is a small transparent box in the right that I use for ketchup small bags that we collect when order deliveries but it is empty now.

In the last shelf I have dairy. We don't buy more than this amount weekly and some fresh cold water. I know these beautiful bottles are made for milk, but I like them because they look so nice, they are easy to pour water from it without getting the cover off, and because I didn't like the water bottles in the markets.


This was my fridge  tour I hope you liked it. If you like to share any organizing project I will be glad to share it here on my blog. I am waiting for your comments, feedback and responses. See you next post.
