PRODUCT REVIEW: Swanson’s Vitamins Organic Spices

The wonderful people over at Swanson’s Vitamins sent me a package of organic spices to try out. I have been trying to cook with more organic products lately, so I was VERY excited to try out the products.

Cinnamon
The first product is ground Cinnamon, I use it in my coffee every morning. I love to the smell of fresh brewed coffee with a touch of cinnamon in the morning. It is FANTASTIC! First off…I have been having a really hard time finding ground cinnamon in the store lately {I can only find the cinnamon & sugar combo – and I do NOT want that} so I was super excited to get this one to try out. I am pretty sure that organic product have more of a ‘kick’ to them, I can actually taste the cinnamon in my coffee. So I give this product a thumbs up! I loved it.

Cayenne Pepper
Product number two is the Cayenne pepper! And what perfect timing…I have been wanting to try out my Red Pepper Hummus recipe. This recipe didn’t call for a measured amount of the Cayenne pepper, so I added as much as I wanted. I was great! I never realized how much I like spicy hummus and this cayenne pepper was the perfect touch. Again, another thumbs up!

Cumin
The last product that I used was the Cumin. Tonight I made a Mexican Black Bean soup that required cumin…I have never purchased cumin before, nor had I used it. And NOW I know what most of my Mexican dishes have been missing. This spice finished off the soup perfectly! Thumbs up!!

All in all, I was very impressed with the Swanson products! I highly recommend them.

Door-to-Door Organics

So with this new commitment to getting healthy, I did some research and found a fabulous company. Door-to-Door Organics will provide you with a weekly delivery of fresh organic produce. There are several ‘boxes’ that you can work with and they allow you to substitute items that you may or may not like. The other really cool thing about this company is you can select a ‘local box’ and they will only give you local organic products. Currently they are only delivering in Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, and West Virginia…so if you live in these areas, I highly recommend them. Pete will actually eat the fresh fruits and vegis that we get, it’s amazing!

Coming soon…pictures and my review of the Weight Watchers ‘Chicken Teriyaki with Broccoli’ recipe.
