(RECIPE Included Below) This is a sponsored post. All my opinions are my own. I was thrilled when RawSpiceBar contacted me and asked if I would try their spices and create a recipe using one of them. Just so you know, I’d never agreed to do this and share the recipe I created with you, unless I really like their products. I LOVE their spices! Be sure to scroll down to get my NEW, Fantastic Pumpkin Spice Muffins (Paleo, Gluten-Free, Dairy-free)At RawSpiceBar, they are passionate about offering people a fresher, more convenient way to incorporate spices & blends into drinks & dishes. The way spices are packaged and sold at the grocery store makes it difficult and expensive (plus often wasteful) to experiment with new spices and flavors. They wanted to change that. That’s how RawSpiceBar came about. They deliver freshly ground, perfectly sized spices & blends created by top chefs, direct to your door for $8.00/month.Are you looking for that last-minute gift for Christmas, Hanukkah or a healthy gift for yourself? RawSpiceBar has something fantastic for everyone!
