Tips for Better LivingSPICE UP YOUR LIFE! (adapted from www.thekitchn.com)

If your spice drawer is a jumble of jars from who-knows-when, then it's time to take

stock of what you have and what to keep. Spices don't last forever, so it's worth

inventorying those you have on hand to make sure you use them while they're most

flavorful. Ground spices are generally fine for 3-4 years, while dried, leafy herbs may

only last for a year or so. When in doubt, uses your senses! Spices should have a

strong smell, potent taste, and rich color. A lack of any of these means that they're

past their prime. Spices last longer when they're stored in airtight containers, away

from heat and light. So, treat them right and they'll spice up your life!
