Spice Girl

Savory Spice of Colorado is my favorite place to buy spices. The Johnstons’ opened their first store in Denver and recently opend a second in Boulder. Fret not, they also have a fantastic website that features wonderful recipes and all kinds of ways to use their concoctions. One of my favorites is Capital Hill Seasoning. I use it for my whole roasted chickens and on fingerling potatoes. One of their recommendations is to mix 1 Tbsp. into 1 cup of sour cream to make a great crudite sauce. Their other signature products include roasted granulated garlic and onion  – which I use on anything I roast .  I also love the tomato powder and freeze dried lemon zest. www.savoryspiceshop.com
