How I store my food

Something I feel worth mentioning as I'm posting today... Many people store their individual ingredients separately in buckets and containers. Kellene at Preparedness Pro posted a while ago how she stores all ingredients necessary for an entire meal in a bag and then the bags in their own bucket. As a working mother of two young boys I find it very convenient to follow her style and would definitely recomment reading her post about storing in buckets.

I mainly state this to address because I do buy quite a few commercial packets of seasoning such as ranch mix and whatnot. I also do make my own sometimes and then make packets from freezer paper stapled together. Making or buying individual packets instead of keeping all the spices on hand to make your own is much more simple. If you prefer to not to use commercial seasoning mixes, might I recommend at the very least for storage purposes, making large amounts of your own mix and then dividing it up into homemade packets. I prefer using paper packets rather than plastic baggies because they are more easily labeled (and readable) and do not transmit light.
