Holiday Gift Guide – Raw Spice Bar

Are you adventurous when cooking? Perhaps you would like to experience new cuisines or exotic spices. Introducing Raw Spice Bar! 

The concept behind Raw Spice Bar was filling a need for home chefs to experience making global dishes. Fresh flavors and quality ingredients are essential for making home recipes spectacular. Fresh spices are important. Raw Spice Bar offers amazing spices in fresh ground flavors at reasonable prices. 

Each of their spices is toasted and ground individually for freshness. The blends they create bring out the ethnic tastes of the cuisine. Each of the spice kits contains a perfectly matched variety to enhance your global recipes! 

Raw Spice Bar shared a few spices with me. Three spices came lovingly packed in individual sealed envelopes. 

Moroccan Ras El Hanout is a blend of cumin, coriander, ginger, black peppercorns, rose buds, turmeric, and more. What would you make with this blend? I am thinking a curry type dish. 

Cardamom Summer is a mix of green cardamom, star anise and cinnamon. This one is screaming at me to make a pastry or cookie. 

Jamaican Jerk is an intense mix of thyme, allspice, nutmeg, cinnamon, black peppercorn, onion, garlic with two kinds of chiles. This is ideal for making any jerk type dish. It has a bold kick with the chile peppers. 

The package of each spice measured an average of 1 ounce. I like the size as it is very fresh and more than enough needed for a recipe. 

Raw Spice Bar spices can be purchased online as individual spices or in spice gift sets. The gift sets are a great way to experience a taste profile. Select from Asian to Middle Eastern profiles or simpler tastes like a popcorn seasoning set. There are spices for every taste! There are many spices to choose from. They also offer subscription packages for gift giving! 

Take your culinary skills to a new level. Try the spices from Raw Spice Bar. Order online today.

Pereg – Everything But The Bagel Spice Mix Review

As a child, growing up back East, breakfast was all about a bagel. There were always bagels in our home. Classic tastes from plain to the very popular everything bagel were family favorites then and still are today. 

 

Now the tasty delicious “everything bagel” flavor can be devoured on more than the doughy treat. Introducing Pereg Everything But The Bagel Mixed Spices! 

This is exactly what I think of in everything bagel flavors. The spice mix contains garlic, onion, black sesame seeds, white sesame seeds, poppy seeds and salt. This savory blend brings the best everything flavor together, in an easy to use anywhere, sprinkle container. Sprinkle a little or sprinkle a lot! 

I have used this delectable spice mix on a variety of foods with delicious results. One of my favorite ways is sprinkled on a cheese omelet. The Everything But The Bagel flavor really adds a savory punch to a boring omelet. My hubby loved it sprinkled on cream cheese toast. Taking it away from breakfast foods, we found ourselves generously adding it to salads, sandwiches and soups. It goes with so many foods! 

Think about adding it to popcorn! We did and it was a new taste sensation! I am almost out of my jar since hubby discovered this popcorn flavor! 

I like the goodness Pereg puts in every spice. There are no additives or preservatives. 100% natural ingredients and this spice mix is gluten free! 

Pereg offers a full line of Natural Foods including many more spice mixes at reasonable, fill up your cupboard, prices! Sign up for their newsletter on the website for an additional savings of 15% off your first order.

My Thoughts


I make my own teas, and my daughter is in culinary school. Between us, we have a lot of herbs and spices lying around. We have so many that sometimes it's hard to find them.I have about ten different spice racks and organizers, but these magnetic spice tins are one of my favorites. Each of these cute little metal canisters have magnets on the back which allow you to stick them to metal. The containers have clear lids that allow you to see what's inside, but it also comes with labels so you're never in any doubt.

The set of tins comes with twelve different containers and a metal rack. The metal rack includes an adhesive that allows you to attach it to any surface in your kitchen. I decided to just attach the containers to my refrigerator. Its right next to the oven and frees up some counter space. Now, I can just grab my favorite herbs whenever I need them. The magnets are strong and can handle even a full container with ease. The design is sleek and functional and will work with any kitchen. If you are looking for a new way to keep your spices organized, check out the Magnetic Spice Tins on Amazon.

Celebrate HalloWellness with Orange + Black Indian Spices - Halloween Gift Guide

ORGANIC INDIA was formed as a labor of love.They began working with farms in northern India to grow Tulsi ~ Holy Basil to create their signature product, Tulsi Tea. They now include other Indian herb specialties.

Tulsi Tea Original

Add a little more to your trick-or-treat this Halloween season, and turn your sweet-filled month into a HalloWellness one! This year, treat yourself, your family and friends to a orange and black festive pairing of Organic India's Turmeric and Chyawanprash.

Here are a few favorite Halloween concoctions to spice up your season:

Turmeric - This orange spice supports inflammation, digestion joints and radiant skin. Available in capsule and powder form, there's no need to look like a ghost this Halloween! Oh, and this is Doctor Oz. approved?

Chyawanprash - This 100% organic herbal jam is packed with 36 traditional Indian herbs + vitamin C, aiding in digestion, metabolism, memory and even skin complexion. It's deep black color will make even the simplest toast a bit more spooky :) 

Our Thoughts

Tumeric is as orange as can be in these capsules. I have only recently used tumeric in my own diet in the past year and a half. It has a taste unlike any other so I only add a dash here or there in certain dishes but I know it's full of healthy stuff for you so I want to eat it in higher quantities without burning my tastebuds out on it's taste. Tumeric Formula is the best solution to accomplish my goal. The label clearly states it's health benefits (blood and lymph system) and serving size. Of course, it's organic!

Chyawanprash looks like tar! It is not at all the consistency you think of when you hear the word jam, it really took me by surprise. The taste, however, is very interesting. It's being promoted around Halloween time, however it reminds me more of Christmas! There is this underlying spicy/cinnamon taste that I love in anything, so it makes this taste great. There is also a subtle flavor of black licorice, which is not my favorite at all, but mixed with the other tastes it blends really well. The best way I can describe it is the bubble gum from Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory, when Violet is eating the gum and it goes through different meals. Aside from the taste, it is Organic, and from a brand, Organic India, which I trust. I know that I am putting healthy food in my body when I eat this and it's filling too so you don't need a lot and it'll last a while.
