Spice It Up

One of the greatest decisions I have made in my kitchen is converting a drawer into a spice drawer. For decades I had followed suite as my mother had in putting my spices in a cabinet. Inevitably spices that I used more regularly would be in the front and those that I didn't would fall into the back of the cabinet and be forgotten, never used again and then they'd go bad (and yes, spices do go bad - perhaps stale is a more accurate word). The spice drawer keeps all my spices available at all times and never forgotten. This set-up also enables me to see supply levels easily!

Baker's Corner

When we moved into our home many years ago there was a slender cabinet that was a bit awkward and I took my time trying to figure out what would work best in it... I present my bakers cabinet- the entire family knows the vanilla, honey, and sprinkles are kept there and it's near my stand mixer (which I adore) so accessibility is prime!
