The words on this hot little number say:"We make a great match.
Be My Valentine."
EXCELLENT WORK, ALL!
So on to the next task.
Picture this:
It's 4:00pm. You need to feed your crew. You are quickly making a grocery list and notice the recipe calls for a few different spices.
Do you have those spices?
You don't know & you have NO time to search through your chaotic cupboard.
So what comes? You buy more spices at the store only to later discover you already have 2 jars of dried basil. Nuts!
Could there possibly be a solution? Complete this task & you'll have the answer.
CHALLENGE #5: Today let's organize your spices & extracts by making a list of what you have. Doing this will help you AVOID buying unnecessary items.....and it will make your life a pinch easier. If you already have a spicy log, your challenge today is to make a log of your soups. I find that I have multiple cans of soup, & yes it's nice to have them on hand, but it'd be nice to know what's there.

Mission accomplished! This is such a great idea! There have been a few times that I get to the store, and realize I didn't check to see if I have the spices at home that are on my list. So I call up my husband to check if we have the spices, he of course says no, I buy them only to find out that I already had them. In fact while making my spice list I found multiple duplicates in spices. The challenge was also great for finally getting around to organizing my spice cabinet.
thanks!

I just happened to organize all my spices alphabetically this past Saturday! I had two jars of ground nutmeg (enough for about 1,000 pumpkin pies?) And two packages of crushed red pepper (enough to make your hair catch on fire?). What a great idea to write them all down...I actually put them on my phone so I have easy access during my spontaneous trips to the store. Thanks!
Wow! I didn't know what was hiding back in that cupboard. Why I have 3 Cream of Tartars I don't know. Ginger bread houses anyone? I put my list on the inside of the cabinet door for easy checking. Oh, and I found a jar of Mace spice that had an expiration date of March 1984! How that was in there I don't have the slightest idea.
Here is my list. Parsley, Basil and Garlic salt. My list didn't take too long to make!
Man I wish I would have completed this task BEFORE I went to the store and bought some lemon pepper that I didn't need! I would have saved 5 bucks!
Well I did it and found multiples of a few different spices. I guess this will end up more beneficial than I thought it would :)
Done and done. I didn't realize how many spices I've run out of. I'm glad you gave us this challenge. I would have hated making spaghetti tomorrow and found out too late that I was missing several spices.
Thanks for the challenge!
Did it. What a smart idea! Kevin will appreciate it. He hates when I call from the store to have him sort through all the shelves.
This was a great idea! I noticed how many duplicates I had. :) Challenge is complete, and I love being so organized.. You rock Hayley!
