Hibiscus Chia Pudding

5 min

This pudding is a gluten-free treat with a floral twist. It's both sweet and tart, and reminds us of fruit punch Jello. Simply steep Hibiscus in hot water, combine with chia seeds and agave, and refrigerate overnight for a luscious pudding that will make breakfast a breeze. It's a nostalgic, no-heat-required meal that's easy to prep and even easier to eat. Garnish with yogurt and raspberries for a burst of flavor. Substitute coconut yogurt to make this one vegan-friendly.  If you like to meal prep, a triple batch will keep well and make enough for several days. Enjoy!

Taste of Portugal Olive Oil Dip

5 min

Looking for a quick appetizer or light snack? There isn't anything easier than a two-ingredient dip using A Taste of Portugal and good olive oil. This dip has everything you want in a dip—layers of smoky, fruity, tangy, herbal, and salty flavors will have you eagerly going back for more. The tang from the red wine vinegar powder in this blend balances out the luscious olive oil, so it doesn't feel too heavy, and the dip makes a great base for garnishes, such as grape tomatoes, Marcona almonds, and an assortment of olives. Any left over mixture can be used to toss with pasta or for marinating chicken.

Grandma's Applesauce Fruitcake

This recipe has been in our family for decades. The base of this Applesauce Cake is extremely versatile and can be modified to any taste. We decided to add candied orange, dried cherries and Gingerbread Spice. This will have any fruitcake-hater second guessing themselves. We've seen it happen many times at the dinner table! This fruitcake is a staple in our household during the holiday season and sporadically throughout the year. Half the fun of cooking and baking is getting creative, so make a few tweaks where wanted and have fun with it!

Blueberry Butterfly Pea Flower Muffins

Who doesn't love a mini muffin? Sometimes we need the perfect little bite with our morning cup of coffee or a tasty snack to keep us going. These darling muffins are just the thing. They get their sky blue color from Butterfly Pea Flowers. We opted to make these gluten-free for everyone's enjoyment. Little pops of sweet blueberries complement the muffins' excellent green tea-like flavor. They're really enjoyable and won't weigh you down like a traditional muffin would. Bake a batch and enjoy them throughout the week — they'll keep moist and delicious. We love using Butterfly Pea Flower as an all natural food dye! Check out our Galaxy Pops and Butterfly Horchata recipes for more blue beauties.

Cinnabutter Trail Mix

Calling all peanut butter lovers! This hodge-podge of textures is great recipe for you. It's salty, sweet, crunchy, and nutty - just what you want in a snack. What makes our trail mix so special is the peanut butter fudge mixture that brings it all together. To make it warm and fragrant we added our Cinnamon Toast Spice. It has all of our cinnamons plus a dash of nutmeg making every crunchy bite memorable. This is perfect for that weekend hike or for movie night. It also makes a great gift for your fellow peanut butter lover.

Tabil Plantain Chips

At the shop, we are frequently asked, "what spice is underrated?" The Tunisian blend Tabil is our go-to answer. It's a simple blend consisting of caraway, garlic, chile flakes, and coriander. All of the spices get toasted to bring out their nutty, umami notes. We took green (under ripened) plantains to another level by thinly slicing, then frying them until crispy. Once done, we added a mixture of Tabil, salt and a little bit of brown sugar. This snack is addictive and full of flavor. These are delicious with a dip like hummus or as a crunchy topping on rice and beans or a salad. Have fun playing with this blend - it's bold, savory flavor has found its way into most of our daily staples.

Floral Chia Seed Pudding

This go-to summer breakfast has infinite possibilities. We used chia seeds which are full of protein, antioxidants and fiber. Once they soak overnight in liquid, they plump up and have a tapioca-like texture that is both filling and easy to build on other flavors. Here we brewed some Floral Sonnets tea, adding a touch of honey and some Beet Powder, resulting in the beautiful magenta layer for this parfait. For the royal blue-colored pudding, we used Butterfly Pea Flower with almond milk. The next day build your parfait with the layers by adding seasonal berries and yogurt. This parfait cup will taste of chamomile, ginger and cinnamon, which bring warmth to the tangy yogurt. It's both festive and a great way to start any breakfast!
