Samantha asked:


Im making a pie from scratch but I want to use pumpkin pie spice instead of all spice, cloves, ginger, etc. Does anyone know of a good recipe or where I can find one online. Or even better how much pumpkin pie spice I should use instead of everything else?
I have the sweet pumpkin. Ive never made it before, I figured I might as well try it out before the holidays.

I baked a pumpkin pie tonight for thanksgiving tomorrow, and the most horrible thing happened!
I pre-baked my crust, used a recipe I have before, and the middle came out like a balloon, and now it has sunken down and it looks a little… questionable.
WHY oh WHY did this happen?@?@?@??!?

The Benefits of Organic Herbs

Friday, January 2nd, 2009
Anne Harvester asked:


Organic herbs are preferable to non-organics because they are not grown using chemical fertilizers or chemical pesticides. Chemicals can leave residues on plant matter, and work their way into the plant’s roots, leaves, stems, flowers or bark, and this means that they can reach your body if you were to ingest them. Instead, a healthier alternative is to forgo the chemicals and stick with organic herbs. Organic herbs and spices add zesty flavor to recipes, drunk as tea and several can also be used for medicinal purposes. Organic herbs can also be purchased in bulk and for wholesale prices. Organic herbs provide a tantalizing alternative to herbs grown with chemicals.

Bulk organic herbs provide you a ready supply of tasty spice available at your fingertips. You might choose to keep a supply of organic bulk herbs handy in the kitchen, where you go through them frequently during recipe preparation. Standbys such as wonderful pepper, bay leaf, basil, cumin, curry powder, and so many more will be used day in and day out in your meals. Quick recipes utilizing pasta are common around dinnertime, and pastas need deeply flavored sauces to accompany them. No marinara, for example, would be complete without Italian seasoning. Featuring garlic, oregano, basil sage and marjoram, your sauce will reach the peak of perfection when you add these special spices to your dish. Desserts are no different. Pies would be flavorless without the appropriate spices. Allspice was made for pumpkin pie and hot apple cider, two fall favorites. Vanilla beans are your freshest-tasting choice for its distinctive flavor in recipes and drinks.

Certain organic herbs also make fragrant teas. Peppermint or chamomile have been used for centuries to soothe the stomach and provide a relaxing tonic before bedtime to help bring on restful sleep. Organic bulk herbs can also be combined into unique tea blends to satisfy your specific tastes. If you need a sweet-tasting pick me up that doesn’t come loaded with calories, try a tea blend of peppermint, chamomile, licorice root and cinnamon. Each of these organic herbs is lovely on its own, but when blended together provide dynamic contrasts that will heighten your taste sensory pleasure.

Those who will resell the herbs in products or in use in restaurants will find considerable savings in wholesale organic herbs. These wholesale top-quality organic herbs can be purchased in bulk quantities for deep savings.

When people shop for herbs, organic products are their first choice. No one wants to add harmful chemicals to their diets or apply it in medications or cosmetics to their bodies. This purity factor is why organic products are so popular. When you can keep your shelves stocked with delicious and aromatic organic herbs, you will attract discriminating shoppers who will recognize their value and come back for more.
