El Greco Zucchini Cheddar Muffins

Savory muffins are underrated. While blueberry and lemon poppy seed might make the headlines, cheese, herbs and veggies can work just as well! Our latest recipe yields muffins that are moist, cheesy and almost biscuit like. It's so satisfying to pull these warm muffins apart. The stringy cheddar will make you salivate.Baking these at home will fill your kitchen with smells of oregano, basil and garlic, all thanks to our El Greco blend. This Mediterranean spice mix has all of those garden herbs, as well as sumac and lemon peel for acidity. The flavor pairing is perfect for baked goods: rich and comforting, but not overly heavy. They also make the perfect side for a soup or salad... if they last until lunch!

Tzatziki with Dill Pollen

I love tzatziki, it has always been a favorite. Whether as a dip for crunchy vegetables or counterpoint to spicy grilled meats, the combination brings together creamy goodness from Greek yogurt and cooling cucumber alongside a puckery pow from lemon and garlic for a delightful contrast. But it wouldn't be tzatziki without the dill, and we've punched up the flavor here with the addition of dill pollen and our premium Garlic Salt.This version of the classic dip and spread was born, as so many wonderful recipes are, when I was short on ingredients and didn't have fresh dill or garlic in the house. I subbed in the dill pollen and garlic salt in a pinch and voila! The tzatziki bloomed with loads of intensity. Now I include them every time, using both fresh dill and the pollen, fresh garlic and the salt. It creates delightful dance party on the palate. Enjoy!

Lentil Loaf with Awesome Sauce

I've made this recipe for lentil loaf a million times. It is a go-to dish that keeps coming back around. Why? It's true the loaf is moist and flavorful, healthy, and satisfying. It's true that you can make it with just about any assortment of seasonal vegetables and spices. But the real reason is that the sauce is AWESOME. Seriously. For a family that loves to experiment with new dishes, the fact that we keep coming back to this recipe is a testament to its greatness.Credit goes to The Simple Veganista and her perfectly proportioned recipe for The Ultimate Vegetable Lentil Loaf. We've barely adapted it here. For our tastes, the secret is in the sauce, a simple blend of balsamic vinegar, ketchup and maple syrup, that pairs perfectly with all manner of flavors in the loaf. For this recipe I made it with New Mexico Chili Powder and our new Garlic Salt, but Sassy Steak Spice and Creole Seasoning also work well.
