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.

Mini Pumpkin Cakes

10 min

Experience the rich history and cozy flavors of fall with our Poudre Douce Pumpkin Cakes. This spice blend has ancient origins in medieval Europe, where 'Poudre douce,' meaning 'sweet powder' in French, was a cherished culinary secret. It added warmth and sweetness to dishes during times when sugar was a luxury. Our Pumpkin Cake pays homage to this tradition, blending the earthy sweetness of pumpkin with baking spices like ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Each moist, perfectly sweet bite is a reminder of why we adore autumn. 

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.
