Herb Blends
At the Sunny Side Cafe I make a habit of keeping a number of custom spice blends handy ~ here are a few for your home kitchen.

Every Day Herb Blend
Classic California blend with a hint of peppermint. Using only the finest organic herbs and hand-harvested French gray salt, this spice blend is perfect for your Every Day cooking. From Italian sauces to pizzas, meat rubs to soups, this fragrant blend is the perfect addition.

The Grey Salt used in this blend is certified organic by France's Nature & Progrés. This is the most rigorous salt certification process, which equates to purity and quality. (NOTE: The USDA does not allow any Salt types to be labeled as Organic in the United States.)

Herbes de Provence
I was driven to produce my own blend of this classic mix due to my inability to find an organic version. Provençal French blend, with marjoram, thyme and a hint of lavender.

Classic recipes with Herbes de Provence include rubbing on roast chicken or pork, or for flavoring soups and stews.

Cal Mex Spice Mix
I use this spice mix in my famous black beans at The Sunny Side Café. A savory blend of three chiles, Mexican oregano, and a hint of natural sugar, this mildly spicy blend is perfect for taco meat seasoning, chili and black beans.

Sugar and Spice

Sugar and spice, what could be more nice? Well, for starters we use only the finest, Fair Trade, organic, unrefined sugar we can find. This is blended with granulated dried cane juice (also known as Sucanat) and cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, and allspice. Perfect for cinnamon toast, in your morning coffee or tea, on fruit and ice cream for a quick dessert.
