Spice It Up + Mt Rose Giveaway
I’m a huge fan of herbs and spice and try to incorporate as many of them as possible into our diets on a daily basis. The herbs I don’t grow in the garden, I buy from Mt Rose Herbs. I started buying from them years ago because they had great quality and have a great collection of organic products (did I mention they have great prices too) If you look in my spice cabinet you’ll see their labels dominate my jars.
When Mountain Rose Herbs contacted me about trying their new line of Epicurean products, I said “Sure” and asked about doing a giveaway. They sent me a few of their new products: Black Salt, White Peppercorns, Garam Masala, and Curry Powder. Typically, I mix up my own garam masala, and my recipe is great, but I thought I’d give theirs a try. I think these spice mixes might end up in my camping pantry. The pepper grinder container will be going in my purse so I can have freshly ground pepper anywhere.
You’ll notice that I have a link to Mt Rose Herbs in my sidebar and have for a long time. If you do purchase from Mt Rose Herbs, come to this blog and click through first. They give me a referral fee % of your order and it helps pay the expenses associated with this blog.
People ask me all the time about where I get my organic herbs and spices, Mt Rose Herbs I always respond. Mt Rose Herbs is going to be giving one of these spice collections to one lucky reader. All you have to do is comment below. Winner chosen, Congrats Troy who said this:
What’s your favorite herb or spice?

I usually buy my spices in bulk from the amish but my last purchase was not of the best quality so maybe it is time to find a new supplier. Will have to give Mt. Rose a try

Love their stuff! Use their spices to make mulling spice packages for all my friends. It’s a fall thing! Haven’t tried any of the Epicurean line yet!

Salt. I’ll admit that I do like some foods *salty*, but more I love what this one seasoning *does* to food. Sweets, spicy…. whatever you’re doing, salt enhances it.
to Kelly H.'s comment

Thank you for hosting this giveaway by such a quality company. Quality ingrediants make all the difference when cooking. I’ve never ordered from Mt Rose Herbs, but I’m heading over to check out their website now. These would make great stocking stuffers for my husband!
to katie's comment
I’ve never have black salt before, I’d love to try it!
to Rachel's comment
I buy my herbs in bulk and wish I had a store like this nearby!
to Delicate Flower's comment
Nutmeg is probably my favorite spice. I love it on anything with a creamy sauce, in my tea, and pretty much anywhere I can use it. I’d love to try that black salt though!
to Joan's comment
My favorite spice is cumin, it adds such a yummy smoky flavor to such a wide variety of dishes. I’ve ordered oils and lotion making supplies from Mountains Rose, but so far no spices. I’d love to give them a try!
to sherri's comment
Cumin. Or curry. I love them both.
to kristin @ going country's comment
I use a lot of basil and dill that I grow myself. I also use organic herbs for my animals. I have ordered from Mt Rose before and will again. I would love to try the new line. Thanks for the giveaway.
to Gayle's comment
Ahhh I looked at those products during my last order but my order was large enough!
to Wendy's comment
Right now my favorite spice is turmeric, I keep trying to find new ways to use it.
to Songbirdtiff's comment
I use Italian herbs and paprika the most, but I’ve always wanted to try cooking with curry powder. How cool that they contacted YOU! Thanks for sharing more great information.
to daisy's comment
Cumin…hands down. I adore MRH!

to Lynn's comment
Cumin for dried, basil for fresh.
to Anne-Marie's comment
I also buy from them. Never been disappointed with anything I have purchased from them. Please enter me in the give away. The black lava salt is pretty :O)
to Texan's comment
Cumin is my favorite, but I also use lots of other herbs and spices. This time of year I’m using lots of cinnamon, ginger, cloves, allspice and freshly grated nutmeg……so good!
to Linda's comment
Thanks-this looks like a great provider of quality spices. I will be ordering soon! Would love to win the sampler.
to Jan's comment
we’ve loved the lemon pepper mix from McCormick, but in my attempt to get rid of processed, pre-packaged stuff, i think it’s going to go away. I need to learn to cook more with spices rather than processed additives.
to kirsten's comment
I love fresh basil in the summer, sage in the fall, thyme in the winter and mint in the spring.
to Kara's comment
I love cinnamon in both sweet and savory applications. Also, you can never go wrong with salt and quality black pepper.
to Mark S's comment
Paprika we use it in nearly everything
to Selah's comment
Cinnamon! It is great in sweet and savory dishes and warms the soul. In Chinese herbal medicine it ismused to help things like arthritis, pms, common cold, infertility, and loads of other ailments. Secondary would be ginger and turmeric. Love ’em all!
to Kat's comment
Thanks for the chance to win great spices! I’ve getting my spices from an Oregon Tilth associated farm delivery service, but thinking of ordering from Mtn Rose. Thanks for sharing the info on the linky love…i will definitely use that when i place my order.
to whit's comment
The spices sound great. I usually buy mine in bulk, but its always good to have another source.
It’s hard to name a favorite spice, but perhaps rosemary for the savory spices and ginger or nutmeg for baking. I have 3 large rosemary plants in my yard, so I can get fresh anytime.
to Katherine's comment
Visited via your link. Impressed! They have hard to find Cardamom (husband is Icelandic Canadian-and the recipes inherited from Iceland like Cardamom!)
to Sandy's comment
I love cumin and rosemary (but not together)!
to Elizabeth's comment
I’ve always wanted to try Mountain Rose Herbs! I love going to their website and building a dream wishlist. But I’ve never ordered :( I get most of my spices from our co-op’s bulk section. Not organic, but cheaper than any other store I’ve been too. I’d love to try Mt. Rose though!
to Dillon's comment
Cardamom- ground and pods. I found a fabulous Chai tea concentrate that I mix up and keep in the fridge, and of course cardamom is the star ingredient. Love it in baking.
to Karen P.'s comment
I have to say my favorite herb would Basil…i love love love me some fresh basil :)
to Samantha's comment
I love to use cumin- it really changes so many things. Celery seed is a close second.
to Gabi's comment
What a fantastic giveaway! Curry is my favorite spice hands down!
to Laura Hesslau's comment
Lovely looking spices. Hope I win so I can taste them!
to Ginger's comment
I use a lot of thyme; so would say it’s one that I go through the fastest. For baking and desserts, I use pumpkin pie spice which is a mixture and I use it for all kinds of baked goods.
to susan ingle's comment
I use thyme a lot. Count me in for the giveaway.
to Ms. Tweetley's comment
I have been wanting to order from Mt Rose Herbs, but have yet to do so. My current favorite spice is cinnamon…now that it’s apple season! My favorite herb is probably basil, fresh or dried, I put it in everything.
to Nadeanne's comment
I would love to win this because I cannot find garam masala in any of my local grocery stores. It is so frustrating!!! I love living in WV, but sometimes it makes finding exotic ingredients difficult. We seem to be insulated from exotic cultures sometimes… Sigh.
to Jennelle's comment
I’ve been digging ground cumin lately!
