i recently moved in w/ my b/f. not a lot of spices, and the ones that we had, all clumpy and no good. went to a spice storwe to restock and also planted some herbs.

the spices I use, I have to replace every month because I use them constantly, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, tumeric, curry, ginger, pepper, cayanne, pepper flakes, corriander etc lots and lots, I use very little salt but am always using herbs and spices and fresh fruit and veggies to make my meals healthy and tasty

i am going to a store called penzeys spices today to replenish & refresh my spice rack!

I signed up for the challenge. I’ll go through everything, but I was only married last year. So the spices are a year old.. This will motivate me to make some dried herbs. I have Sage, Oregano, Chives, Mint and Cilantro. I will pick some and then dry them so I have nice dried stuff handy too. All organic!!!

I try to go through my spices every summer, and usually buy them in smaller containers so that I’ll be sure to use them before they go stale. I’ll start drying some herbs (like thyme and oregano), and will puree and freeze others (like cilantro and basil)

...time to start drying herbs from the garden to replace those that are old. We grow most of our herbs now. Just purchase things we don’t use much.

Yeah I had noticed some dinosaurs in my cupboard also(lol). I went a step further and got rid of all my sodium filled season all salts and replaced them all with Mrs. Dash blends.

I was amazed at how much old stuff that I have had in my spice rack. Most are rarely used. Thank you for this challange.

I admit I neglect my spice rack! I’ve sorted out all the old or questionable jars and will pick up some new during my shopping trip this week.
