Earl Grey Marshmallows

Making marshmallows is a fun kitchen project for young and old. The gelatin transforms in the mixer from a liquid to a big gooey cloud, and then you get to shmear out the whole mess in a cloud of powdered sugar. What's not to love! And some versions come together to be twice as nice like this elegant one flavored with Earl Grey. This bestselling tea is beloved for its malty rich black tea base scented with bergamot. Infuse that into homemade marshmallows for a special treat for any occasion. Use them in a London Fog Latte or Rice Krispie Treat. You can also keep it simple and pop one on your hot cocoa or in s'mores - or eat them right out of the tray! Homemade marshmallows also make a thoughtful gift.

Eggnog Chiffon Pie

One sure sign that winter has arrived is the appearance of eggnog in the grocery stores. We're going to use that distinctive flavor here in this light and airy Eggnog Chiffon Pie, but we'll also be giving it a subtle new make-over by substituting Mace for the traditional Nutmeg. This allows the mellow, earthier tones of the Mace to shine through, tempered by a judicious touch of spirits. Typically, a chiffon pie gets it's soft, pillowy texture from a combination of whipped cream, whipped raw egg whites and a cooked creme anglaise, or custard sauce, stabilized with a little gelatin. In the interest of food safety we opted to make a Swiss Meringue with the whites, which quickly cooks the eggs to a safe temperature before whipping them up. The crust includes more spices and ground pecans, providing a satisfying crumbly contrast to the smooth, creamy filling.

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.

Grandma's Swedish Cardamom Bread

This holiday treat comes to us from our friend Erica, who graciously agreed to share her family recipe with the blog. The bread it makes is rich and sweet, with the cardamom and orange zest adding just the right amount of spicy flavor. We'll leave it to her to talk about the history...From Erica: My Swedish Grandma, Esther Priscilla Wiberg, passed this recipe onto my mother who passed it on to me. I make it every Christmas as a braided wreath, adorned with Holly leaves and berries secured with a red velveteen ribbon. My friends and neighbors pay homage to Grandma Esther every holiday by devouring a slice of homemade bread with butter or homemade cranberry sauce. Last year, after moving to Montana, my husband and I delivered the bread to our new neighbors via horseback through the snow.

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.
