If you are anything like me, you probably spend a lot of time searching your cabinet for the spice you need. It is so hard to see them when they are all the same height. I tried this spice organizer from Bed, Bath, and Beyond but it only fit a fourth of all my spices so I was still having the same issue with the other 3/4 of them. I searched the internet for other ideas but the only other organizing rack I found that fits a lot of spices sits on the countertop, which I like my countertops clear so that wouldn't work.
Tuesday nights we head to my husband's parents house for dinner. It's great to catch up and have the kids hang out with the grandparents. I also love, love, love my mother-in-law's cooking. She is a a mastermind of all things southern comfort when it comes to dinner. Seriously, mouth watering. Pork chops, fried apples, biscuits & gravy, green beans (southern style), black eyed peas, yeast rolls, etc. Everything she cooks is to die for, no joke.
On one particular Tuesday, I was particularly impressed with something other than the food, shocking I know! As a recipe called for last minute seasoning, I noticed her pull out a wide, shallow drawer lined with all her seasonings. It was seriously the best way to organize your spices I had ever seen. Each spice is laid out, perfectly easy to see, and the drawer holds a bunch. Unfortunately, my drawer isn't as wide as hers so if I add any other seasonings I will be needing another drawer! :)
Ever since I moved my spices from the cabinet to a drawer, it has made my life so much easier. I love my food spicy and full of flavor so being able to access my spices so easily has been the best. I thought I would share a little bit of my mother-in-law's brilliant mind with you. It has helped me so much and I figured it might help some else racking their brain trying to find a better solution for their spices.
