In the spirit of SIMPLE, and DELICIOUS comes the most perfect blend of spices you have ever used. My friends, Bella & Ray, created Bellalicious, a gourmet blend of flavorful spices that have changed my life in the kitchen. You must try these while they are offering a 15% discount on their bundles and the Ultimate Chef Collection, which is pictured above.
Here is why I recommend these “perfect” spice blends. When I was first introduced to them, I thought that it was a nice idea, but decided not to order them since I am already a chef and have my spice routine down. To be honest I am a bit of a minimalist when it comes to fancy spice blends. Many of you know that I am “all about simple”. Well, I am no longer skeptical, because I tried all of the blends and love each one. Here are some of the reasons why:
Their blends are perfect. Yes, perfect. They have the perfect amount of salt and all the other spices that put together flavors we have become to love in all culinary types.
They provide simplicity in the kitchen. No need for a bunch of spice bottles that are not used often, to become lifeless and without flavor after sitting in a cabinet for a period of time.
Another attraction to simplicity is that you can cook up something as simple as a pot of rice and beans, serve them in a bowl and then add (for instance), the Mexican spice blend. Top with a bit of olive oil, perhaps some fresh cabbage and avocado, and done!. Perfect!
Want a potato/veggie soup? Use stock, veggies and the Jamaican Spice blend for an incredible new treat. And, there is stew, casseroles, spicy sauces, and dressings.
Open a can of coconut milk, add some veggies and broth, or stock, and a dash of the Indian Spice blend, and there you have a traditional Indian curry soup. Or, cook a pot of lentils and make an instant Dahl. OMG, it is just so simple, nutritious and yummy!
How about a pasta dish? The Italian Spice blend will spice up a can of tomatoes, garlic, onion and whatever else you love in a red sauce, and you will have a superb pasta and/or lasagna.
Then there is the French Spice blend - one of my favorites. Best for tempeh, meat, chicken or tofu. Check out Bellalicious.com for awesome recipes.
Want Gourmet dishes? No problem. There are countless recipes, many on the Bellalicious website to include these fabulous blends. In fact, if you are an instagram fan, follow Bella at: instagram.com/bellaliciousmaui.com.
I will be posting more ideas of how I have used these spices because I am so into them. Check out their website and use the coupon code SUSAN15 for a 15% discount until November 30th. I recommend purchasing the Ultimate Chef Collection for yourself and for friends for the perfect holiday gift.
