Limón-Chile Spiced Fruit

Our Limón-Chile seasoning deserved to be celebrated in its simplest form. With fruit! This seasoning goes great with summer flavors so taking advantage of fruit at its peak was a no brainer. This platter is full of color, flavors and texture. If you look closely at our Limón-Chile you’ll see the gradients of different shades of red peppers. It’s tart and salty making it a perfect compliment for sweet and juicy produce. We’re a long way from the streets of Mexico where you see venders pushing around fruit carts and showering the fruit with chiles and lime, but this platter is sure to add some spice to your fiesta.

Beet Pappardelle with Herbes de Provence

Use your extra hour of daylight savings time to make pasta from scratch! It is a labor of love, and what's not to love about hand made pappardelle. These wide, fat noodles are not fussy. Just fold the pasta sheets like an accordion and slice off the strips. For a little extra love, we've added beet powder to the pasta dough for delightful color and a hint of earthy sweetness. This vibrant powder is so user friendly compared to fresh beets! You can get the delightful color and flavor without the beet-bloodbath that comes from the fresh vegetable, and without the extra water in the pasta dough, it is less finicky. To further embrace spring flavors, we tossed the noodles in a light sauce with Herbes de Provence. The taste of garden herbs like tarragon and thyme, pair perfectly with caramelized fennel and garlic for an aromatic sauce. Garnish your mound of pasta with some crumbly sheep's milk cheese for some tang that compliments the earthy beet noodles and bright spring flavors.

Everything Bagel Spiced Cauliflower

Everything Bagel Spice has....everything! The beloved calico crunch is a favorite for bagels and crackers but we've tapped it as a crust for cauliflower that doesn't disappoint. The flavor nuggets nestle into the nooks and crannies on the whole cauliflower head like peas in a pod. Our Everything Bagel Spice boasts all the usual suspects - onion and garlic, poppy and sesame but we've taken it up a notch with nigella and caraway too. The crust adheres to a layer of Greek yogurt that caramelizes as it bakes, lending a chewy tang to the vegetarian dish. Serve this beauty with a side of dipping sauce for a stunning presentation at the table.

Chicken & Dumpling Casserole

If you're looking for a not-too-guilty pleasure to enjoy on a cold winter night, look no further. This hearty dish satisfies all the comfort food cravings, and is made lighter but no less luscious with oat milk and gluten-free dumplings. Now let's talk dumplings, aka the best part. Dumplings are typically chewy nuggets of boiled biscuit dough, but when you stud them into a casserole instead, the result is moist and chewy on the bottom, fluffy in the middle and crispy on top. Win. Win. Win. Seasoned with Herbes de Provence, and paired with leeks, carrots and peas the casserole is somehow both hearty and beckoning to spring at the same time. Enjoy!

Warm Bulgogi Soba Noodle Salad

The first time I made this dish I slurped up most the noodles before I even sat down. I love a dish that's bold and can evolve with the seasons, adding in your whichever vegetables show up at the market. Here we kept the vegetables raw for crunch and seasoned them with our Bulgogi Spice. The bright flavor of the Bulgogi Spice cuts through the nutty flavor of the buckwheat noodles for the perfect bite. The Korean chile flakes brings enough heat to the dish without overpowering it. This salad is perfect for lunch, as a side or add some protein and make it an entree.

Creole and Sorghum Roasted Brussels Sprouts

If you've never used sorghum before, now is your chance, and it is worth a trip to the market. Sorghum is a syrup made from a cereal grain and it tastes as if honey and molasses got together one night and did a little hanky panky. (Can't find sorghum syrup? Our Upper Left Madrona Smoked Honey makes a wonderful, lightly smoky substitute.) The sweet depth of flavor pairs beautifully with the heat of our Creole Spice on blistered corn and brussels sprouts. Add this to your menu for a quick and easy side dish that comes together quickly with minimal ingredients and maximum flavor.

Bulgogi Avocado Toast

Our Bulgogi Spice is a perfect flavor fit with eggs and avocados. A traditional Korean blend used to season grilled steak, it is equally at home here. We never tire of trying spice blends in new ways and this is a great example of how easy it can be. Now a brunch and breakfast staple, Bulgogi Avocado Toast is healthy and easy to make. The spicy tang of this seasoning comes from Korean chile flakes. It is also rich with umami from chive and onion and a little bit sweet from a pinch of brown sugar. The sesame seeds add texture and a nutty finish. Bulgogi Spice is the ideal way to add loads of flavor. Add a bright start to your morning with this dish.
