Discard expired spices.
Keep your most-used spices within easy reach.
Store them in glass jars for freshness and a visually appealing touch.

Your freezer can be your best ally during winter. It’s the perfect place to store leftovers, summer produce, and meal preps. Here’s how to make the most of it:
Portion and freeze veggies: Think tomato sauces, roasted peppers, or chopped herbs ready for quick use.
Label everything: Use freezer bags or containers with clear labels, including dates.
Create categories: Dedicate one shelf to vegetables, another to proteins, etc. An organized freezer saves time and stress!
4. Break Out Winter-Themed Tableware
Nothing sets the tone for the season like winter-themed dishes and serving pieces. Adding some seasonal flair to your table makes meals more enjoyable. Here are a few ideas:
Use plates with snowflake patterns or soft pastel tones.
