Get to know your spices…
Your nosework for the next week:
SMELL every single spice.
If it doesn’t smell fresh and feisty, say goodbye.
When in doubt…toss it out!
Make your own spice blend and use it in EVERYTHING. Oatmeal, eggs, on raw & cooked veggies, in your chai, coffee, rice, meat, tofu, pasta, broths, and soups!
My go to blend: ground ginger, garlic, cardamom, and turmeric. And I’m also really into my sweet and warming blend: cloves, nutmeg, cardamom, cinnamon, and ginger. And a pinch of cayenne to both blends to HEAT THINGS UP.
Add more spices than you think you should add. Don’t hold back! Trust your eyes, nose, and taste buds.
I can’t say enough good things about Mountain Rose Herbs. I get most of my bulk spices from here. Great quality!

“This is right about when I punch my computer in the dick. It took me 2 hours to upload this 6 minute video and then it is shit quality. It is what it is and I must practice my own preach: it is okay to be perfectly imperfect. ”
I want to hear all about your spicy date in the comments below. Did you meet THE ONE? Who got kicked to the curb? Did you sniff anything funky?
Spice orgy is a thing…some spices can’t get enough of each other. I would love to hear about some of the delicious blends you came up with!
