Rachel Scott
Love all of the spice line, but I prefer basic spices to the pre-mixed ones. I like to think of cooking as an art and spices as the palette, mixing my own in combinations to fit what I am wanting to accomplish. Wish I had a cabinet full of various basic spices, but I cannot live without garlic powder, black pepper, red pepper, ground ginger, white pepper, onion powder and minced onions.

I love mcCormic spices. They are always my go to. Some of my favs— cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, garlic powder, onion powder, any of the spice kits for things like spiced apples and pork chops— pot roast seasoning—-chili seasoning. You cant go wrong with McCormic. I started to say I couldnt have Thanksgiving without them but truth I couldnt have most meals without their seasonings and spices.

I like all the seasons and spices, mainly because they don’t have MSG and they add great flavored to all foods. There were two recipes that I would like to try, one I may even do tonight: Crispy Chicken Ceasar Wraps and Bag n Season Country Season. Although, the one you featured today looks really good too!

I love the “Perfect Pinch” flavors – especially the Mexican and Italian Blends! Those are my “go to” spices, in addition to Garlic. McCormick is big on flavor without artificial colors/flavors, no msg, and fewer additives than other products out there.
