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!

Gingerbread Donuts
These cute mini donuts use our Gingerbread Spice to bring holiday flavors to the breakfast table. We couldn't decide between two different garnishes in our recipe testing, so we included them both. Dunk them in the sticky maple gingerbread glaze or roll them in gingerbread sugar, according to preference. Can't decide? We'd advise you to split the difference and make some of each, like we did!For those who might be discouraged from trying doughnut recipes due to the frying involved, we are relieved to say that these were baked. After much experimenting, we decided the yeast donuts were best, and everything else came easy. Easy enough to, say, make a double batch and garnish your eggnog or hot cider for an extra special treat.
