Spices & Herbs

A great way to jazz up your cooking is with spices and herbs.  I've got a few growing in my garden now that I can use to sprinkle in casseroles, on top of pizzas, or mix into my baking.  Trying new mixtures is always fun too.  My husband got me addicted to cinnamon sugar which we blend ourselves at home by mixing the two in even parts.  Recently, I found it on the shelves of one of my favorite food stores as well.  There were all kinds of great condiment jars with spices mixed into sugar.  The package design was so simple and yet so well done, just like the mixes themselves.  Plus, they were fair trade!  I'm loving it.
