Kitchen Tip Tuesdays
I found a new tip last week when I was putting all of my dried herbs into little jars. I needed to label each lid & I was out of blank labels. I usually keep a sheet of blank labels in one of my kitchen drawers, just a sheet from the package that you use with your printer to print your own address labels. I use them to label left-overs that I put in cool whip bowls & into the freezer. But, I've been out of those for a while. So lately when I've been freezing things, I write on a scrap piece of paper what I'm freezing & then tape it to the lid. That's not very neat looking, but it doesn't really matter for left-overs in the freezer. I wanted something nicer for my jars of herbs, so I went hunting for one more blank label page, even though I knew we were out. LOL What I found was better! I found two pages of those free address labels you get in the mail from various charities. I think one was from Easter Seals & one was from Saint Jude's Children's Hospital. One page had Christmas pictures on them & the other had flowers, & because these were herbs I picked the flowers. I just used white-out on the printed address. And that's it! It made very pretty labels.
And here's a peek at my chamomile.
I have used up nearly all of my mayo lids for these herbs! I'll have to start saving more. LOLYou can see more Kitchen Tip Tuesdays at Tammy's Recipes.

very cool. I love your dried herbs!
Great idea! I've discovered the joy of Sharpie pens in recent years. Now I often write directly on my Ziploc bags or old plastic tubs (the ones that used to contain soft butter or cottage cheese) what's inside. If it's not a container I care about, I don't even trouble myself with labels anymore.
Now make sure you don't open more then one lid. You might forget which lid went to which jar.
Thank you Stacey! :)
Lynn, Oh! Sharpies are great on ziplock bags! And cool whip bowls, & cottage cheese bowls & sour cream bowls....
BarbaraLee that cracked me up! LOL
Great idea!
Great idea! Your herbs look wonderful.
Great idea. Very cute.
I always have used masking tape. It isn't pretty, but it does the job.
