The spice drawer was the perfect choice for a busy weekday. I didn't even get a before photo. Just filled up any empty jars from the overstocks behind and sorted the extra bits into a few jars on the side. There are some empty jars in the dishwasher, but so they will come back soon enough. Having all my spices in matching jars brings me joy. My kids would say it is my OCD shining through, but everything is just so much easier to find when it is uniform and alphabetical. How many times have I bought mustard powder because I thought we were out when it was really just hiding? Nobody needs that much mustard powder! I even added some of the homegrown spices that I grew this summer. I love using sage that came from my own plants.
I hope that you are having a happy hump day.

Oh that spice drawer is wonderful!! So great to be able to find things when you are in the midst of cooking!! Good job hugs, Julierose
Small wins are still wins. Our spice cabinet is a mess, but My Guy likes it that way, so I don't tread there.
I agree with you on spice jars - I have two shallow drawers that I organized last summer. On amazon I found spice jars all the same size, labels etc and even a little funnel to fill the jars and have two organized drawers - of course some of the spices barely get used and I wonder what recipe called for a few of these things that I never use.
Good job! One of my daughters cleaned out my spice cabinet area a couple of years ago when she was here for a few days. She threw away a lot of old spices, and then went shopping with the list she made a replenished those. So far we've kept it pretty well organized.
