    New tile floors! Haha...seriously, there are new tile floors...but the bigger change would be that I actually USE all of the produce we buy as opposed to before when I had the best intentions but would give in to time pressure and go out to eat thus throwing away all of the produce that went bad.

    Just LOTS more STUFF! Measuring devices of all shapes and sizes, large containers of almonds & protein powder, bags of chia seeds....not to mention the blender, scale, spatulas....and every piece of extra stuff is worth it's weight in gold.

    The pantry is more empty and the produce bin in the fridge more full.

    my kitchen is more colorful... with alot of different veggies and salads. I have a TON of salad dressings, not just Ranch and Thousand Island (in fact, I dont have any thousand island LOL) I thought I needed a bread box, but I don't, I don't eat bread (no flaming please) So instead of a white based kitchen (processed foods) my kitchen now has color!

    we use the kitchen


    Oh! and we put a cable outlet in there so we can watch the game (whatever is on)

    No wine! I cut that out when I started six weeks ago and haven't looked back.

    i treated myself to a new digital scale, other than that, the biggest change in the kitchen is the grocery bill! 4 of us eating healthier has gotten expensive!

    An almost nonexistent amount of junk food. We always had/have healthy food. But now it's not buried under boxes of SUGARSUGARSUGAR.

    Biggest change has to be the absence of soda. There was always a few of them in the pantry. Now I have half a shelf of extra space!

    I bought a food scale and a second set of measuring spoons/cups. I use most of my utensils now. I've always been a kitchen gadget junkie, but I just let them sit. Now they are all used. The blender/food processor that sat on a shelf for years literally is being used every morning (for green smoothies) and every evening (for slicing/dicing fresh veggies). I used my slow cooker for a week in a row, preplanning dinner and cooking it the night before. I use a lot more tupperware now too because I limit myself to eating out only once per week for lunch (if that) and weekends.

    I can't keep almond milk, yogurt, spinach or peanut butter. We use them up very quickly.

    My mom got me a nice set of Betty Crocker measuring spoons and cups in different sizes since I love to bake. I now use them for everything, ESPECIALLY coffee creamer and ingredients for smoothies. I also bought myself a food scale a couple of months ago. Last but not least, TONS of spices in the pantry, since we've been making homemade soups and stews like crazy lately.:smile:

    More grapes (yum!), baby carrots, lentils, black beans, almonds, spinach.

    And there is a food scale on the counter that wasn't there before. :)
