Hello Steemians, it's your girl @echuku
I am so delighted to participate in this beautiful contest in the Steem For Ladies Community by @ninapenda. Thank you so much ma for this amazing contest, it is my pleasure to drop my entry and I do hope that you all enjoy my post.

Explain four things you would want to teach us about the kitchen. Maybe something you feel is very important we should know.

Not only does it contain everything that is needed to prepare meals, but it's also a hub of storage and seating, it's may interest you to know that the kitchen is the center of communication.

The kitchen gives the household a focus and direction because it is the most important room in the house.

If at all possible, don’t start cooking until your kitchen is relatively clean. If you start cooking and your kitchen is already a disaster, you’ll just get depressed and throw up your hands in despair after cooking a meal and If you start with a clean slate, you’ll be more motivated to keep it clean.

It’s often said that the kitchen is the hub and the heart of a home. You see, the thing is, regardless of the type of home you live in, large or small, you’re bound to agree that no home is complete without a kitchen.

From the smallest of functional kitchen spaces to the traditional galley-style look, or the most contemporary, open-plan concept kitchen with an island, there can be no denying that the kitchen has to be seen as the most important room in any house.

Having all the necessary tools, does it make you a perfect cook?

It's very important to always have all the necessary tools in the kitchen, having the right tools in your kitchen can significantly enhance your cooking experience.

When last did you clean up your kitchen and do you think it should be a daily activity? Yes or No, Why?

I like to keep out appliances that I use every day for instance, I usually use my blender one to two times a day, or ones that are so heavy that it would be a major pain to haul out when I need them (like my stand mixer).

I also like to keep my cooking utensils (spatulas, whisks, spoons, tongs, etc.) out on my counter because there just isn’t a good spot for them in my cupboards.

Most times, when I find myself with some free time in the kitchen, I use it wisely, For instance, if I am waiting for a pot of water to come to a boil, instead of standing around, I used to do a bit of cleaning. Etc

Instead of throwing your food scraps onto the counter, it’s much more efficient to place them in a dedicated compost bowl. This way you don’t have to wipe up the food juice, and you can quickly dump the scraps all at once. You can even peel carrots, potatoes, cucumbers, etc. directly into the bowl to save time.

Have a place for everything and everything–you know what I mean!

Instead of having things scattered here and there in your kitchen, it’s much better to have similar things all in one spot. For example, I have a large plate on which I keep all of my non-refrigerated fruit. I also like to keep all of my cooking utensils on one end of my kitchen. That gives me a long expanse of counter with nothing on it. Glorious!

My favorite tips for keeping your kitchen clean. I hope these inspired you to make the effort to keep your kitchen neat.

Share with us your breakfast, lunch, and dinner for this week, and write about the food. (You can talk about any snack or dessert you have). Tell us about their health benefits.

My breakfast for this week is bread and tea with egg sauce, this is a very good combination that is healthy for the body system, it also builds our body system too

My lunch is jello rice and chicken meat, as you all know, chicken and rice is a very beautiful combination and chicken is a proteinous meat that provides vitamins to the body.

My dinner is yam pourage with vegetables and accompanied with fish. This is also a beautiful combination of vegetables and protein that helps in building our body system.
