Kitchen Makeover

Image
As part of my nutrition coaching course, I had to help someone do a kitchen makeover. I could do it on my own kitchen or help a client makeover their kitchen.  For my assignment, I taught my  fiancĂ© (Carmelina) the principles, and worked through my family's kitchen cabinets.  Kitchen Cabinet - Before This kitchen cabinet has a whole array of items, including a coffee bean grinder, food processor, different types of sugars, dried goods, and more. While I want to throw out all processed and sugary items, it was not that simple. My parents use some of these items to make Chinese dishes. I know I would have to negotiate with them. What can we get rid of for sure? Expired / old food items, processed / sugary items that no one uses anymore, etc. Which items may have to stay? In addition to healthy foods, I should also keep foods that my mom & dad cook, especially ingredients that came from China, as they hold more sentimental value (and some health benefit, I think?).
