Spice Girls!

    

     My Grandmother was an ah-mazing cook.  Luckily my father inherited that gene and I was able to latch on to his passion for making food taste great as well!  Spices are essential in making any dish even better!  Penzeys Spices is an amazing website that sells great spices and free recipes on how to best use them!  They have spice combo packs, gift packs, and sell by jars or bags (bulk) for reasonable prices.  I love receiving an order because they always ship their spices in cinnamon sticks, bay leaves, and whole nutmeg just to make it 'pretty'.  SOLD.

     Here are my favorite spices:

• Adobo-- I put this on EVERYTHING...it's so versatile and adds just the right amount of perfect to any dish.  The spice is not very strong so you can't really over-use it.  

   Adobo Seasoning :

A traditional and popular Mexican spice mix. Not hot, but spicy and rich in flavor, and salt-free. Rub on chicken, fish and pork...Hand-mixed from: garlic, onion, Tellicherry black pepper, Mexican oregano, cumin and cayenne red pepper.

 

Not sure what has happened to my font at this point...oh well...

• Grill and Broil 4 Jar Gift Pack-- A great variety of spices! We use ours all summer long and during football season when we are charcoaling hamburgers, chicken, or steak. 

• Apple Pie Spice-- This bad boy speaks for himself...mmmm.mmmmm.mmmm!  (Also exceptional addition to apple cider....)

                      Penzey's says it is hand-mixed from: China and Korintjie Cinnamon, nutmeg, mace and cloves.

 

 

You can get online and order a free spice catalogue, which I recommend anyways because they always include awesome cooking tips and delish recipes you can use even if you don't have the spices! 

 

How many times can I say spices?!
