I have been trying to make a spice drawer for the past year. I had a few small jars in a drawer but the bulk of my spices were in my cabinet. I kept forgetting what I had and turns out I had 3 jars of thyme. So I decided to make the move.
I had about 7 of the cute little jars I mentioned and decided to make them my prototype. I painted the tops with chalkboard paint. But they weren't enough. So I went to purchase more and I couldn't find them anywhere. But I remembered that I had a ton of Ball Canning jars left over from our wedding centerpieces.
I went to work. After it was all said and done I ended up painting 23 jar lids with chalkboard paint and turning two drawers into spice drawers. I am so proud of myself. Since becoming plant based I cook about 99% of our food from scratch and make my own spice blends. I have also been purchasing my spices in bulk as needed and this seems to be not only a time saver but also a money saver.
I feel more organized when I cook... but the first thing my 6 year old did was wipe away the words...!!
I would love to have a drawer for my spices. But I use the Lakewood Spice Rack...http://www.tubularspices.com/wooden_spice_racks.asp...I bought it empty and filled it right up!
