Spices Organization

With each New Year I set goals to get Fit not just physically but in my home as well ...

My Kitchen needs a shape up.

First thing I like to start with is my Spices !!!

I like having a spice rack on the counter for easy access. My husband got me a new one for Christmas and I love it.
Kamenstein Spice Rack

***Bonus***

I receive Free spices for 5 years !!!!

I also have a cupboard full of spices too that you might not typically find on your spice rack ...

Example:

Five star spice powder

Star Anise

Cardamom seeds

I also make up some of my own spice blends that I put in jars for example I make a pumpkin spice blend & my husband makes a hamburger spice mix and rubs that I place in either mason or any glass jars(visible) and label them!

Here is how I get started...

Get rid of expired spices.Empty out the spice cupboard.
Choose containers- Tin,Plastic or Glass Containers with lids that seals to keep in freshness. (I like to use a variety )
Categorize and Label.

You can find all sorts of containers at Target, The container Store & Ikea to name a few however I purchased a lot of my containers at Micheals & Bed Bath & Beyond.
You can also make your own labels too !
Print out labels and use this
