I got a pretty flavorful and aromatic small package in the mail. I got the Rawspice Bar's January Spices : Egyptian Spice Box. How neat is that? To be able to use unique spices and discover the spices globally. What I love about this spice box subscription is that, the ingredients and recipe card is included. You can also visit their blog for more recipe ideas! 

Do you ever wonder how fresh the spices are that we usually buy at the store, or how long has it been sitting on the shelf? Rawspice box,  are blended and made just days before they ship it to you. For the January-Egyptian Spice box , I got :

Egyptian Spices - that is excellent on any white fish
Sumac Berries - So yummy with salad ( recipe below)
Hazelnut Dukkah - excellent addition to our pita bread or flatbread (recipe below)

For only $6 a month , you get to cook and taste new flavors..globally! I don't think you can eat out 3 times a month searching for regionally themed menus without breaking the bank. The ingredients are also simple and not hard to find. Be creative because I am sure that you can use the spices with your "go to" frugal recipes too.
