Space saving spice idea!

I don't like to have a cluttered kitchen, so a large spice rack is not my ideal kitchen accessory. I used to keep my spices in a drawer, however I wanted them to be easily accessible. Here's a neat idea!

Hello and Welcome!

Hello!

Welcome to my blog! I am very interested in cooking and have purchased a number of old cookbooks. My plan is to choose a random recipe, make it and upload my journey here for all to see! I plan to take pictures along the way to show the techniques I am learning.

I am new to blogging, but I am sure I will figure it out! The page is very plain right now but I will fancy it up as I learn my way around! I plan to post my first recipe this upcoming weekend!

Love,
Jess
