March week 4: spices!

This week(end) we are gathering our spices. Spices are important to have because they add flavor and variety to our food. When purchasing spices for storage, it is important to look at the shelf life! Spices will stay fresher in the freezer than they will on the shelf. Once they are opened, they loose their flavors much quicker than if they stay sealed. So, purchasing the huge bottle of italian seasoning at the local warehouse club may not be the best thing when, 3 months down the road it is flavorless. If you choose to go that route, separate the spice into smaller containers that you can freeze. You can also buy spices at the dollar store that will store on the shelf. Good luck!
