Clean As You Go...

Got a sink full of dishes, again??? Clean the kitchen during and immediately after dinner. During preparation, keep things tidy, throw away scraps (Try Rachael Ray's trick- use a garbage bowl) and wipe up spills. After the meal, wash dishes or load and run the dishwasher right away. You're not going to want to do it later either- so do it now and get it over with! Have everyone help before they scatter! You'll never go to bed, or worse!,  wake up to a sink full of dishes. Nothing worse than cleaning before you can prepare another meal. Just imagine tomorrow morning, an empty sink and a cup of coffee...try it!
