Adobo Cheese Dip

I never know who's playing, but I always know I will be making fresh pretzels. They only take a few hours, can be prepped in advance, and are perfect for dunking in this warm cheesy goodness. Our Adobo Seasoning is Salt, Sweet Paprika, Onion, Black Pepper, Cumin, Garlic, Chile Powder, Mexican Oregano -- AKA the perfect seasoning to add a flavorful kick to this dip. Using arrowroot to thicken, you have the freedom to use any milk or milk alternative you'd like and you're keeping it gluten-free (sans the pretzels of course!)

Tea Party!

Between dry January and a frigid winter, I have been reaching towards a mug of tea at least two times a day. While we rarely carry teas in the shops, we do always have our collection of herbs + spices that can be quickly steeped into a flavorful tea. Whether you enjoy these recipes as is, or use them to upgrade a basic black tea, they're certain to warm you up.

Infused Sugar Scones

Is there anything better than fresh out of the oven scones? This recipe is a great base dough that allows for endless personalization. I made a quick batch last night and am looking forward to baking a set with different flavors on Sunday.

Rosemary Deviled Eggs

I love deviled eggs. I order them whenever I see them on a restaurant menu. Invite me to a potluck and I'm probably bringing deviled eggs. I recently came across this recipe in Eating Well Magazine and when I saw it was written by Lior Lev Sercarz (Author of Mastering Spice and Spice Companion), I knew it'd be a good one. Not only were they good, these are easily the best deviled eggs I've ever had. Just try them - you won't regret it!

Winter Salad with Balsamic Dressing

In my opinion, salads are only as good as their dressing. Texture falls very close behind, so let's chat there first. Knowing that this is a balsamic base, I'm expecting a little sweetness to balance the sourness. To cater to this, I added maple syrup to the dressing and carried that flavor over to the toppings by way of SKORDO Sugar Hut Pepper. What loves Sugar Hut Pepper? Sweet Potatoes. What loves Sweet Potatoes? Brussel Sprouts. I played this game around the produce aisle until I felt ready to salad because I am not a salad girl and need to carry some excitement through the whole experience haha. However, this is a very adaptable salad and could absolutely be a quick way to elevate some leftovers.

Greek Lemon Turmeric Lentil Soup

Having the time to chop the veggies and toast the spices and taste the soup change + develop as you go is a luxury that makes cooking dinner feel like a date with yourself, and there's nothing more wholesome than that. This soup, like any good soup, feels like a warm hug.

Smoked Bourbon Barrel Aged Sea Salt Caramels

Chewy, Salty, Sweet, Smoky...sign me up! These caramel candies are a perfect little treat. SKORDO Bourbon Barrel Aged Sea Salt is a fan favorite, no surprise with its gorgeous flake + captivating smoky flavor. Utilizing the salt as a garnish allows the flake to be highlighted and the sweetness of the caramels to be balanced by an initial salty crunch. A candy thermometer is key here, but you'll learn to see visual cues if you make them often! A quick wrap in wax paper turn these into authentic-looking + adorable handmade gifts!

Savory Maple Granola

Created as part of our Edible Gift Guide- this granola is a fun way to challenge the suggestions on the jars, and enjoy your favorite blends any time of day. I've said it 600 times + I'll continue to find joy in saying it--there is NO salmon in the SKORDO Maple Salmon Rub.

Slow Cooker Sausage Gravy

A big hearty breakfast is the highlight of a holiday morning! We should be cherishing every moment with loved ones and sometimes making another meal + another round of dishes can be overwhelming. A common Christmas Morning tradition seems to be cinnamon rolls, since they can be made the evening before and freshly baked upon waking up. Cinnamon rolls are great, but not everyone at the table wants a sweet + sugary morning treat. I am savory gal personally, so biscuits and gravy is what I'll be having this year. To make it as hassle free as cinnamon rolls, I've turned this into a crockpot recipe that can either cook on high for 4 hours if you're an early riser, or on low for 8 if you let it go overnight.

Baking Powder Biscuits

Nothing beats a buttery biscuit for breakfast. I made these to serve with Sausage Gravy, but they would make delicious shortcakes or egg sandwiches just as easily. Each time I make a batch, I bake half + freeze the other. This leaves me with about 6 biscuits ready to be baked on demand over the next few weeks.

Baked Cod + Lemon Gnocchi

Though I created this as a family style Holiday meal, I think it may have earned a spot as an everyday favorite. The gnocchi cooks in just 5-6 minutes, cod cooks for less than 10, and the sauce comes together in seconds. It's crunchy and chewy and bright and buttery all at the same time.

Posy Sugar Cookies

I live for a 'make once, bake all season long' recipe. This sugar cookie dough will keep for 2 months in the freezer, so save yourself the time + make a big batch sooner than later! While I'm aiming for a holiday theme here, this dough is perfect for any shapes or sprinkles throughout the year.
