A simple fix for Member’s Mark organic spice shaker lids.

I’m not sure exactly when Sam’s Club started selling their larger-sized Member’s Mark organic spices in the minimalist glass jars. All I know is that I was super pleased to see them switch from plastic to glass and eliminate all the clutter on the packaging. The price is competitive, the spice selection is abundant and the well, can I keep on talking to you about how pretty those glass jars are?

So, who cares if the packaging is pretty? Technically, it doesn’t affect how the spices taste, right? I believe that pretty, clean and simple packaging adds a joyful touch. Think about it. Go to your spice drawer, cabinet or pantry right now and pause a moment. Unless you have those Container Store matching jars, your spice area probably looks a little cluttered with different labels and sizes. Of course, variety IS the spice of life (my bad, you know I had to) and seasonings are so much fun when experimenting in the kitchen! But for those times you can add a small touch of pretty to the meal occasion, I say go for it! These spices from Sam’s Club are a nice touch.

Okay, okay. I must admit there is one slight flaw to these spice jars… the lid. Essentially, the lids are screw caps with no shaker control. This works fine for commercial kitchen when someone measures by the cupfuls, yet for us regular folks, a shaker lid would go a long ways.

Guess what?

I searched around on amazon to find a substitute lid with shaker options that would fit the Member’s Mark organic spices and I found one! They come in different colors and I picked white because I love a clean simple look. Here’s the link to the shaker lid multi-pack and see for yourself.

    Thanks, Lyndi. I’ve been holding on to my old plastic versions and refilling with the new jar versions, because, I, too, want to be able to use the shaker. There’s another problem, however, with the jars. The mouths are too narrow for inserting a tablespoon. Still, my plastic jar lids are wearing out, so I will at least be able to get better use out of the new style as time goes by.

      Hey Kelly! I’m so glad to help and how fun that we are on the same page about those lids! I know what you mean about the tablespoon… I have two styles and one is slim and fits, the other doesn’t!

If you're like me, I try my best to eat as healthy If you're like me, I try my best to eat as healthy as possible. And that often means to load up on all types of vegetables! Sometimes that can be a challenge, depending on picky eaters or perhaps not having enough variety, and - frankly - don't we sometimes just need a little imagination and motivation in the kitchen? ⁠
⁠
A couple of years ago I had the privilege of shooting product shots for @drcowanspowders and quickly became in love with the ease of vegetable powders. They can be used like spices and "hidden" in all types of foods like burgers, yogurts, smoothies, soups, and dips. To name a few. So, now I'm also an affiliate for them because I love them. Please use my link in bio to check them out (at no cost to you) and because they are celebrating their 5 year anniversary, you get 25% off storewide until April 19th. Sooo.... hurry!⁠

Ask me any questions, I'd be happy to answer!
Hello, beautiful lemon! 🍋🍋🍋 If you're som Hello, beautiful lemon! 🍋🍋🍋 If you're someone who buys a lot of lemons and juices them... did you know that you can "zest" the peels using a microplane and stick them in the freezer for future use? Meal prepping at its best, baby! I posted a recipe on the blog last week for Instant Pot pressure cooker creme brulee with a touch of lemon. This zest is perfect for that! I also keep it on hand for madeleines... Dennis requests those like every day!
Are you using your pressure cooker to its fullest Are you using your pressure cooker to its fullest potential? I've barely scratched the surface but I gotta' tell you... I use it all week long for soups! Recently I decided that I wanted to use it to make a dessert and started browsing around on Pinterest. I decided to make creme brulee in my Instant Pot! After playing around with it, I posted (link in bio) a recipe for creme brulee with a touch of lemon.🍋
I don't really have a sweet tooth yet I always hav I don't really have a sweet tooth yet I always have a "little something" in the pantry to satisfy the little bit of sweet tooth that I have! After a zillion years of blogging, I can count on one hand the number of desserts that I've blogged about. So, when I do create a recipe and actually post it, I'm like, "Look at me, I'm a baker now!" hahaha Actually, it's not all about baking. For example, I just posted a recipe for Instant Pot creme brulee with a touch of lemon. Link in bio, of course! The ingredients are super simple and the pressure cooker makes it super fast and easy. Best of all? It is #lowcarb and #keto!
I don't know about you, but man I love a good sala I don't know about you, but man I love a good salad. The best thing about this salad (okay, besides the taste) is that the ingredients are sooooo easy to make ahead of time. That means you can dinner prep and toss this salad together at the last moment. As all good salad should do.⁠
The stars of this healthy salad are the hearty veggies: sweet potatoes and radishes. You’re going to roast them first. That’s right, roast!
A healthy salad is wholesome. Substantial. Strong A healthy salad is wholesome. Substantial. Strong enough to sail on its own, yet perfectly willing to tag along with the main course. In fact, I think you’ll love serving this salad whenever you may have someone at the dinner table that is drawn to more-veggies and less-meat.⁠

It’s pretty isn’t it?
