Everyday Seasoning

While cleaning out the spice cabinet, I realized that I needed to utilize our inventory better.

We have quite a large herb garden and dry the herbs for use. The only problem is

I package the herbs in large zip-lock bags where they tend to sit forever. 

I realized I needed to start breaking them down into a more manageable size, and aesthetically

speaking, they are prettier to look at.

I use a coffee grinder to chop dried herbs

Everyday Seasoning: Great for adding to sauces, soups, or just about any savory dish.

2 TBSP each of: Thyme, Rosemary, Basil, Marjoram, Minced Onion
1 TBSP each of : Sage and Garlic Salt

Makes enough to fill a standard size spice shaker.

Cleaning Out 2012

I love the idea of "The New Year". Of starting fresh. A clean slate.
A sort of nesting instinct kicks once I start packing away the Christmas things and I have the urge to clean out everything. I started with the spice cabinet.

It feels good to open the door and see order. Next on my list is to organize the attic. A bigger undertaking than the spice cabinet. Wish me luck!
