sugar and spice and everything nice {there's a giveaway comin...}

don't worry, this isn't another pregnancy post.  i've just got it on the brain right now...

i'm a purger, especially when we move.  and i feel like i'm always replacing my spices during every move.  nothing is more annoying than pouring your spices onto a dish, only to realize that they're old and have lost half their flavor.
so i run to the grocery store with a big ol' list and end up spending a fortune to spice up pantry.

so i died a little of happiness when cooking planit asked me to give one of you lovelies a spice set that includes 26 of the most commonly used spices worth over $100.
and it doesn't stop there.  there are 50 chances to win these puppies.

the cooking planit spice giveaway is an unbelievable promotion, running 50 spice sets giveaways with a bunch of us bloggers.

{by the way, is it weird that these photos actually make my mouth water?  maybe it's just because i'm preggo but the thought of all of the delicious things that i could whip up with these is making me hungry...} 

 

have i mentioned cooking planit before?  they have this awesome app that helps you meal plan, grocery shop and prep & cook, all in one sweet little free place.  i'm a touch obsessed.  it's an at home top chef's happy place.

the spice set has been generously donated by cooking planit, but the opinions on their awesome app and the serious jealousy that i can't win the spices for myself {...awkward} are all mine.
