Organizing a Quick Dinner - Spicy Garlic Lime Chicken

      
I love finding a recipe for a quick meal, don't you? Both my husband and I enjoyed it this recipe from AllRecipes, and I'll cook it again. I used chicken tenderloins, which made the cooking time even faster. Served with couscous and fresh veggies, dinner is on the table in a flash!

Options for Organizing Spices

                    
Spices get out of hand sometimes, don't they? All the different sizes, containers, etc. Currently, I store my spices on turntables with green herbs on one and others on the second one.

But recently I saw this idea from Tidy Mom and loved it! She uses metal mesh utensil organizers and magnetic tins. 

The only problem is that the metal tins are about $3 apiece. I found some nonmagnetic tins for about one-third the price. Some magnetized tape from the craft store can be attached to the tins or the utensil holder to provide the magnetization for a fraction of the cost. 

If neither of these options are appealing to you, take a look at my Pinterest board on spice racks. I recently did some research for a client, and found a plethora of options.
