All these recipes are fantastic! Thanks so much.
I love love Spice House!
Better yet, ask me what spice bottle I purchased or received. After I check what I have on hand, tell me the various recipes to consider. Perhaps even allow for meat / vegetarian selections. At the end of the day, you want me to use what I have on hand in a meaningful way.
It would be better to have a grocery list of foods that use ingredients in different ways rather than all completely seperate recipes that don’t overlap any ingredients. I like the concept of the spice packs pre measured for recipes, but not the 7 day plan shown here.
Thanks for this- very inspiring!
