Our Easy Dinner Idea of the Week takes just minutes to prepare and is a favorite on the family dinner table. With healthy ingredients like Greek Yogurt, cucumbers and spices like cumin, we love to call this meal our “better than burgers” dinner. Try this easy dinner recipe and save yourself a trip for take-out!
You may be so lucky to have a Container Store in your area. Our luck arrived this week with the opening of the first Container Store in Las Vegas.
The Container Store at Town Square, Las Vegas Opening
“What does the Container Store sell?”, is a question I’ve been asked many times recently while talking about this fabulous store (really). And, in case you’re wondering the same thing, the answer is- containers. And not just any containers, but all things organizational- from traveling supplies, to closet and garage storage systems, to gift wrap and my favorite- kitchenware.
With a sneak-peak blogger luncheon, here’s what’s in store for local Nevadans come opening day.

Hey, this sounds like my tagline!

One of the many things I like about the Container Store is how they don’t necessarily always indicate what the container is meant to hold. They create aesthetic and fun organizational products then leave it up to the individual to decide how best to put it to use. This metal cabinet may look like it belongs in a shop or office, but is demonstrated here holding napkins and plastic ware for picnics.
Just adorable.
Many of the ladies were excited about all the Lego containers.

Loved the giftwrap section
It’s always a fun time with the ladies of Vegas Bloggers.

So just when I thought Las Vegas couldn’t get any more “organized”, May 12th marked the opening of the Container Store in the heart of beautiful Town Square.
Here at The Organized Cook we spend A LOT of time in the kitchen, creating, testing, filming, photographing, and of course cooking. That is a lot of time we spend standing up on the hard kitchen tile. At the end of some days, our legs just ache! That is why we were thrilled to hear from the wonderful people at WellnessMats® with a solution to our problem. We were so happy to test out the WellnessMats® that we asked if we could pass one onto one lucky reader!
