Spices – how to keep them organized

Spices put life into your cooking. But, I tend to use my usual seasonings – salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, etc. – especially when I’m in a hurry.

A few years ago, my sister gave me six very cute little jars. I loved them and thought I would like to put all my spices in these jars. So, I bought more!

Then, I labelled each jar.

But I had a problem.  I still had to lift each jar in search of the spice I needed.

My solution – a three-tiered shelf that fits perfectly in my cupboard.

I put the spices in alphabetical order and now this is one my favourite things in my kitchen.  I love how the spices are right in front of me when I need them and I find I experiment with different seasonings that I normally wouldn’t try.
