Today I finally got around to reorganizing the spice cupboard.  Well, it’s not a whole cupboard just one shelf of it.  Also on that shelf we keep our salt and pepper, vinegars and oils.  I had to toss a lot of old spices that have been sitting in that cupboard for years. 

Instead of buying the jarred spices we’ve been trying to buy them loose or the little bags full.  While this is cheaper it makes storage a nightmare.  So we bought some 150ml canning jars as we had seen our favourite tv chef store his spices like this. 

Then I used my handy dandy labeler to label the spices.  Highly recommend a labeler for home use, they are fabulous.

See how nice they look with a clean and simple label.  One of the other benefits of using a wide mouth mason jar is that you can actually put your measuring spoon in there.

And finally the finished project.  I wish I’d have thought to take a before picture, but just take my word for it, it was bad.

One down…I’m not counting how many more to go.
