Spice Organization - Spice Mixes

Phew!  I've been helping out a lot of friends and family by watching extra children all this week and my goodness! am I worn out. 

I've been meaning to organize my spice cabinet lately and managed to come up with a simple system for certain meals.

Nice, small jars save lots of space and there's no fear of writing on them since they're re purposed.

Ok.  The picture isn't so great.  I had some extra baby food jars so I put some of my spice mixes inside them and then wrote the recipe for the mix on the back of the jar. 
No more searching for the recipe.  Just pre-mix the ingredients and have them on hand and ready to go for the next couple of meals and then mix up some more from the recipe on the back of the jar. 

You can always jazz it up later by printing out and/or decorating a label and gluing it on the bottle, but this is a fast and effective method for busy mamas.  (Can you believe that my husband does graphic design at work and this is what he comes home to? lol)

This weekend my husband is taking me to a garden show and I'm hoping to get some great tips and tricks for growing and preserving veggies!  I'll try to take notes and share anything useful.
