Easy makeover for your kitchen


Quick tip
Here's a lunchbox timesaver from Hollywood chef and mother of two Judy Goldstein: Make the kids' PB&J sandwiches in bulk, then freeze them for future use.

If guests are arriving tomorrow, refresh your kitchen's look using decorator Jill Vegas' advice. Her new book is "Speed Decorating."

Remove the clutter. Put away items that don't belong on the countertop.

Hang fresh dish towels.

Do a quick food inventory. Throw out anything that's starting to spoil, and place a bowl of fresh fruit on the countertop.

Add some fragrance. Simmer mulling spices or pop some cookies in the oven just before guests arrive.
