Kick Of The Holidays And Organize Your Kitchen

The holidays are here again. I know because I see all the Christmas decorations for sale in the stores. So, run to your kitchen and start organizing the pantry and refrigerator! If you are preparing meals at home or you will be bringing a dish to family or friends start taking stock. Do you still have cans of pumpkin that you didn't use last year or the year before? Before you decide to use it check the expiration date. What about those spices? How old are they? A quick tip is to write the date opened on the top of the spices. How much is still in the container? If you opened several years ago its probably losing its flavor. If you don't use much of the spice other than for seasonal cooking and baking, next time buy only a small amount in bulk at a spice store. And watch those sales of large quantities, if you haven't used it up by now you won't use in the next year.

Happy kitchen organizing!
