Spice Haven

by Stephanie

8jargrill.gifI promised you spice secrets when I posted about roasting a chicken in the crockpot. This is my spice secret: http://www.penzeys.com. We won an assortment of their spices in a dirty Santa exchange a couple of years ago, and I am TOTALLY hooked. For roasted chicken, try, the Bangkok blend… Or Barbecue of the Americas… Or Jerk… It’s all FANTASTIC. I’m only sad that I’ve never gotten to wander through the store. I do see that they have a store about 2 hours south of me… Might have to stop in, next time I’m driving south!

    I wa so curious about Penzey’s a while back that I ordered some (they post to Australia, but it’s not cheap). They have an *excellent* range.
