(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.
