Advieh Date Bars
Dates deserve more credit! They have a rich, fruity taste, similar to a raisin, with a honey or caramel sweetness. It's a versatile flavor, making them fantastic in all sorts of food. Growing up, I loved the date bars my mother would make from a mix she found at the grocery store. That mix hasn't been available for a long time, but I acquired a recipe from a coworker years later, that makes an excellent substitute. Of course, we couldn't resist giving it a few tweaks...Dates are common throughout Northern Africa and the Middle East, and feature heavily in local cuisines as both a stand-alone snack and an ingredient in sweet or savory dishes. We seasoned these date bars with Advieh, a Persian spice blend. With a blend of cassia and true cinnamon, cardamom, coriander, and roses, it's an ideal mix to add depth to the natural flavor of the dates. We went light on added sugar for this recipe, letting the natural sweetness of the dates do the heavy lifting. It's a good thing, too, since you won't feel guilty for eating two!

Mississippi Pot Roast
15 min
Mississippi Pot Roast is one of the easiest, most flavorful meals I have made in a long time thanks to the combination of Italian Herbs and Ranch Seasoning that make an incredibly delicious broth. Combine that with the tangy brine from the pepperoncinis, and you've got yourself an epic combo that (if possible) is even better as leftovers. Cook it slow in the oven or set it and forget it with 6 hours in the crockpot on medium. Either way, this dish is simple to make and ideal for potlucks. I won't try to tell you how to eat yours, but I LOVED the meat as a sandwich on a hoagie roll. Try it as a sandwich or get creative in your serving style—the sky's the limit here. The original dish is known for its simplicity and bold flavors, and our World Spice version brings those flavors to a whole new level.

Boil and cool the potatoes first, then smash, season and bake to make this delicious dish. The Yukon Gold potatoes get crispy with crunchy edges while staying creamy in the middle. We seasoned these with savory for multiple layers of flavor, from piney and earthy, along with a little garlic salt and olive oil for a satisfying bite. Serve beside a ribeye steak, meatloaf or roast chicken. These are the best potatoes - hands down.

Chicken Noodle Soup with Egg Noodles
15 min
This isn't your grandma's Chicken Noodle Soup.... Typically chicken soup has a lot of fresh herbs, but our Poultry Rub has all of our favorites—sage, marjoram, and thyme—cutting down your prep time while keeping all that herby goodness. The signature slightly yellow colored broth that we all know from childhood comes from the earthy and nutty Turmeric, which just adds to the depth of flavor. You can use any noodles you want, but I find that egg noodles hold up well even after being reheated and sitting in the broth. (Ahem, leftovers!) This Chicken Noodle Soup is perfect for warming you up on chilly days and is sure to be a comforting favorite. The best part? The leftovers may be even better than the original.
