My spice blend ~

I've been using the same set of spices to put in my morning eggs for two or three years now. It's a tasty blend of spices that I put together over the years as I read about anti-inflammatory properties of each one and the health benefits of each one.

It's nothing fancy, just normal spices put together so that you can shake them out and make the eggs healthy and it tastes great. The spices that I use in about equal proportions are turmeric, cinnamon, cumin, ginger, garlic, paprika, black pepper, and I like to add the Complete Seasoning from Badia because it gives it a little extra zing.

Recently I've blended all of these into one bottle instead of pulling each spice off the rack and shaking it into my eggs. I kind of miss doing each individual spice but it is a lot easier just to shake it out of one bottle.

I used a large spice bottle that did have garlic in it before. Part of me would like to save our next Parmesan cheese container and put my blend in there but I'm concerned that the holes might be too big.

It's hard to tell but it's all part of my effort to make things a little bit easier and more efficient in the mornings. I like my little blend of spices.

It's fun, it's part of my effort to be healthier. I also use olive oil almost exclusively now. For a while I used coconut oil but I switched to olive oil and I really like it. The flavorful olive oil, not the plain boring tasting olive oil.

I hope I'm actually getting olive oil and not getting the fake stuff. Anyways, give those spices a try and blend them together. They taste great!
