As we head into the holiday season, there are many ingredients that are good to have on hand.  Your first step is to go through the spices and baking supplies that you already have and begin to do a thorough examination of the quantity (how much is left in the jar) and the quality (what is its date of expiration).  Then, carefully consider the types of recipes you’ll be making for your Thanksgiving meal, your Christmas cookies, those holiday potlucks, and the Christmas/holiday meal(s).
