This is a lovely spice blend, very well balanced and versatile. I used this as the basic seasoning of tomato sauce and thought that was lovely. Im sure this would be super yummy in a hearty chili, too. <br/>Thank you so much for sharing this recipe with us, Mikekey!<br/>Made and reviewed for Veggie Swap #61 August 2013.

This is a really nice spice blend, I cut back on the proportion of chili powder to the other spices, because I don't like overly spicey. I made this along with a similar spice mix and the addition of cinnamon is what made this one edge the other out though both were tasty. I sprinkle some on some scallops as I sauteed them and it was a great combination. Thanks Mikey for sharing! Made for ZWT 7 by a Food.commando
