I would be lying if I told you I don’t make mistakes in the kitchen. In fact, I’d be willing to bet that I make more mistakes than the average person because I’m a klutz, a slob, and a scatterbrain all wrapped into one walking disaster. The good news is, when you make a particular mistake time and time again, you eventually learn to stop doing it (or maybe you don’t; in which case you’re probably a very unsuccessful soul). Therefore, I have compiled my list of Top Do’s & Don’ts in the Kitchen and put it into the video below. Even if not for the learning experience, you can enjoy watching me foolishly make these very mistakes. Most of it I’m just acting out; but one clip is a real life moment taken from my French Toast Cupcakes video. Acting or not, everything in this video is foolishness I’ve committed before. A lot of it is common sense, but unfortunately, that’s the department in which most of us are lacking.

Check out my kitchen do’s and don’ts below. It’s a mere 4 1/2 minutes, but a quite education 4 1/2 minutes, if I do say so myself.
