Let's Spice It Up

Posted by Ellie-A Little of This and a Little of That at 12:21 PM
About a month ago the lovely ladies at TSP Spices agreed to send me a can from their Holiday Sets of Organic Spices. They have several to choose from and I chose the Bird in Hand which included 12 one teaspoon packets of organic herbs such as: Sage, Thyme, Rosemary, and Marjoram. The main thing I want to say about these spices is they are Fresh with no additives or fillers! You can taste the vibrant fresh spice taste on whatever you use them on. The one teaspoon packets are a perfect size to spice up any kitchen and come in tins that protect the spices from light and air and keep them fresh. When you're finished with the spices, you can use the cans to keep collectibles, small items, or they can be recycled. We used the spices on several different food items to see how they would taste. We tried the Thyme on chicken, and it was so fresh and you could actually taste the Thyme with each bite of chicken. We also made a Pork Tenderloin and used a little of each spice on that. It was delicious. You could taste the distinct taste of each spice. Now we normally buy the fresh spices at the supermarket that are kept in the produce section and love them. However the TSP Spices are fresher than any spices we have ever purchased there. We also tried the spices on steak. I won't use anything else now. I will be purchasing my spices from TSP Spices. A little about the ladies from TSP Spices from their website: We are a couple of Southern girls who wandered north, established careers, married and became moms. We met and discovered shared passions for absorbing work, creative challenges and good mayonnaise on a ripe tomato. Each of us had accomplished careers – Katie as an art historian and museum curator and Sara as an editor and columnist for daily newspapers. But we found ourselves at turning points. Conversations and ideas built on one another and soon, like a couple of 15th century explorers, we had visions of spices dancing in our heads. Ours were not of camel caravans or full-masted ships sailing uncharted seas. We dreamed instead of orderly supplies of spices bursting with flavor rather than wasting away in the back of the cabinet. They also have a blog with delicious recipes, check it out: TSP Blog. You can order your own either individual spices or collections at TSP Spices ,,& Blogging
