SPICE DRAWER ORGANIZATION | spice tips for healthy recipes

My spice drawer is pivotal to cooking healthy recipes. So today I'm sharing how I organize my spice drawer and giving you a few tips for dried spices. I'm also sharing my number one favorite spice - though if you watched my Minimalist Kitchen video you may already know! Also, if you'd like to see more home organization and DIY videos in the future, leave a comment below and let me know what you'd like to see next. :)

Writing the date when opened is such a great idea.

A spice collection is like a tool box; you collect them bit by bit at every opportunity. My collection is ridiculously large and needs some proper organisation.
Very neat and useful video!

I had to come back to this video and let you know how much I appreciate it because I finally have my own house with enough drawers and this is EXACTLY the first thing I did coz I remember your video. I re-jarred all my spices to the same exact square bottles w/ all the SAME color lids and got that shelf inserts. Such a game changer. I can finally see all my spices in one place, no need to frolic through them and topple the other coz I'm a huge klutz lol again thank you for this recommendation, it's seriously one of my top fave way of organizing spices.

Finally! A functionally organized spice drawer. Definitely the marker of someone who really cooks and makes the most of their spices!

I used to buy a cheaper brand of ground cinnamon until I saw a girl making a smoothie on youtube with this brand of cinnamon, so I bought it to try. WOW! What a difference. This one by Simply organic smells like fresh cinnamon, tastes pure and is delicious. The other cinnamon i owned? Well, i tossed it. It smelled off and wasn't quite as scrumptious after this purchase! Thanks for sharing further information on the brand, as well as your beautiful organizing tips! ;)

My favorite spices: cinnamon, turmeric and onion powder!

This is the most functional video of a spice drawer organization I have seen. I came across a few videos before navigated here but they weren't very functional on a day to day basis. I like to see all the spices in one snapshot so to speak instead of them being hiding behind one another. Loved all those additional tips you provided along with this great video. Thank you.

Can you make a video of kitchen staples? What do you ALWAYS get at the grocery store?

[roslenewest]

I remember the first time I saw your spice drawer in a video. I gasped and went back to look at it again (longingly!). Thanks for all the tips. I love trying new spices and creating new combinations of spices that dance across the tongue.

I love your drawer! I'm already making plans to build one for my kitchen! Have a lovely week, Lisa! :)

This is the most beautiful spice drawer I’ve ever seen in my life 😍

I grow my own herbs... and dry them for the winter. For purchased spices, I also use simply organic. I love fresh garlic, powdered garlic for the added kick. I like my turmeric and ginger freeze dried.

organizing alphabetically the only way to go. thank you for this reminder about organic spices. This encourages me to renew my spices. My pantry/cabinets are organized but also time to review the contents; especially the BPA free containers. thank you for your channel.

[carika]

I love that you gave the top 10 for beginners ! Thank you

[perspectiveportions]

Drives me nuts when spices aren't alphabetized in stores but never thought to do that at home. Great idea!

Yes, please another video on Spices! I am switching over to Simply Organic spices only, and just placed an order with Simply Organic! This is after realizing that other spices contain heavy metals. I am so glad Lisa told us about Simply Organic. Her mentioning this brand, drew my attention to research about spices, and I found out that most common brands contain lead, arsenic, cadmium, and other heavy metals. I can't believe all this time I was putting heavy metals into my body, by using inferior brands. Starting today, I am tossing other spices. Thanks!!
