Spice Drawer
Oct 17, 2025
Let’s talk about one of the easiest wins in your kitchen — the spice drawer (or cabinet).
It’s small, it’s powerful, and it often gets totally neglected. But in just 10 minutes, you can reset this space and feel instantly more organized.
Here’s how to do it:
-
Check expiration dates.
Old spices lose flavor and consistency, so start by pulling out anything that’s expired. -
Toss anything gummy or clumpy.
If it’s stuck together or smells off — it’s time to let it go. -
Consolidate duplicates.
Combine half-used jars (like those three half-empty basils) into one to save space and simplify. -
Create simple order.
You can go alphabetical or by usage — keep your most-used spices front and center, and your “special occasion” blends in the back.
That’s it. Don’t overthink this one. Quick decisions, clear results.
Your future self — the one who’s cooking without hunting for cumin — will thank you.
