Matcha Smoothie Bowl

Food should be a feast for the senses and this stunning breakfast bowl is made visually vibrant with Matcha powder. This nutrient dense green tea powder gives you a boost of energy and anti-oxidants in every teaspoon. The color is intense, but the mild vegetal flavor pairs with all manner of ingredients and doesn't overwhelm. Here we've blended pineapple, ginger and spinach until velvety and garnished with fruity toppings, but customize the ingredients to suit your taste with crunchy nuts or creamy yogurt, just don't forget the Matcha!

Cuban Collard Greens

When done right, collard greens are the definition of southern comfort food. Collard has a mellow, earthy taste, and its thick, hardy texture makes a great vehicle for seasoning that stands up well when cooked. For anyone who has eaten flavorless, overcooked collards throughout their life, these versatile greens are worth a second look.This recipe is a year-round side dish that will complement a backyard cookout or a holiday dinner equally well. The ham hock pairs up with our Cuban Spice blend to deliver a wallop of umami flavor. Featuring garlic, cumin, orange and oregano, this blend combines bright and savory spices for a rich and satisfying flavor.

Mulled Cranberry Mimosa

Here are a few of our favorite things, crisp bubbly champagne, fresh cranberry juice cocktail, and mulling spices. In this Mulled Cranberry Mimosa you can have them all! After taking a sip of this brunch favorite, we realized that the inspiration came from another classic cocktail, a Cosmo, and this holiday twist on a classic is festive garnished with lime and fresh cranberries that bob in the bubbly. This recipe makes a whole quart of the mulled cranberry base, enough to host a party or to keep in the fridge for the season!

Mulled Honey Glögg

Glögg. The name alone makes you feel cozy. From start to finish, this Nordic drink is a delight. It is fun to make, aromatic and nutty and the warm cuppa is simply delicious. Our version breaks the traditional mold with white wine and honey for a lighter beverage, but it still contains all the spices, nuts and fruit that signal Glögg is in the house! After a quick simmer of lightly toasted slivered almonds and Mulling Spice in crisp white wine, the Glögg is tiered with flavors from elderflower liqueur, brandy and cranberries, turning the floral golden liquid into a beautiful blush pink. We recommend making ahead so that the it can sit overnight, as the flavors will meld together and become one. It's another perfect batch cocktail for the season, and once it's strained, serve warm and garnish with apples, pears, star anise or a cinnamon stick. Each cup will bring a smile and taste of warm cheer.

Spice-Rolled Goat Cheese

Happy National Cheese Ball Day! This time-honored appetizer is a classic worthy of celebration so we've added a range of flavors to goat cheese with three of our favorite spice blends - Dukkah, Green Za'atar and Syrian Za'atar. Bold and spice forward, these cheese balls are easy to make and each one offers a different flavor. All pair well with goat cheese so pick your favorite or enjoy them all! Hazelnuts and toasted sesame add texture to our Egyptian Dukkah along with cumin, marjoram and thyme. Both of our za'atar blends have toasted sesame as well, but different spices. Green Za'atar is more herb forward with dill, thyme and hints of sumac. The Syrian Za'atar. has a larger measure of sumac along with coriander, cumin and hints of anise. Finish up this plate with crudité and this board will have a taste for every palate.

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.
