Stocking your cupboards up with lots of spices is important to keep your food tasting delicious.
If you are a regular visitor you know that I love adding a little Spice to my food.
Most people don’t realize you shouldn’t leave your spices by the stove because the heat will dry them out. I store mine in containers in a basket across my kitchen.
I put them in baskets so there easy to take to the stove when I’m cooking.
Lots of people don’t know
spices expire too
just like that jug of milk in your refrigerator that has seen better days.
Check the expiration date when you buy them from the store. For help with picking the right spices for your recipe see my Herb and Spice Glossary
