  1. The blend here is just wonderful and fragrant, with the orange zest making this different from a most gingerbread or pumpkin pie spice blends. I love this spice blend and have found myself using it well beyond baking. It has become one of my favorite additions to my morning oatmeal along with diced apples, pears or peaches; as a toping on baked sweet potatoes or applesauce; and, most recently, mixed with Splenda and a pinch of salt as a topping for popcorn. I'm sure there are many other uses waiting to be discovered. Thanks Paula!
     
  2. Love the orange flavour in this! I just used a box grater and grated the zest off an orange and used that!! I did not add nutmeg because we do not consume intoxicants and left out the ground cloves out of preference. I used this in your recipe#225073, which was absolutely delicious. I would make this spice mix again insha Allah. Made for RECIPE SWAP #45 - October 2010.
     
  3. Fantastic!!!! I used it as suggested in your recipe #225073. The addition of the orange zest is the absolute best. I'm going to be using this in many recipes. Thanks Paula.
     
  4. I made up this mix and used a bit in my sweet potato muffin batter, then I added a dash or two to the coconut pecan topping and it really added something special! This will definitely be a keeper in my spice collection. I am actually going to give a dusting of it a try in a rather unconventional use and will have to post that later. I have to make up another batch of all natural soaps with a bit of fine cornmeal for exfoliating and thought I would add a pinch of the spice blend since it smells soooooo good (Kind of a harvest spice which would make a great gift giving soap for Thanksgiving time!) Made for Ausie/NZ Swap 18
     
  5. Super deluxe! So versatile, so yummy! I used to buy a similar (but not as good) commercial blend but they stopped making it. This one is just right for me and I use it constantly. Thank you.

I came to this site in March of 2004. It was then called Recipezaar. This site was the first on-line site that I ever joined. I first popped in 2003 while searching for a Peach Cobbler Recipe. In March of 2004, DH was having shoulder surgery and I was looking for a Split Pea Soup. Once again I found myself on Zaar as it came to be called. Over the years I hung out and learned from some of the best home cooks in the country, I posted over 700 recipes on the site, reviewed over 3500 recipes and posted over 3000 food photos. Over the next 10 years the site made many changes and in 2010 it was sold to to Food Network and became Food.com. Until last year we played games, talked and shared with one another. As a result of the community and the relationships I built I got to meet some wonderful people from all over the country. I also have a great number of friends that I have never meet face to face. Some of us still hang out at various places across the net. Zaar was more than a cooking community. It was an internet community of friendship. Life is an adventure ever changing.
