Seasonal seasonings from Rabbit Creek
Here at Rabbit Creek there are a plethora of seasonings to enjoy
in these late summer months—and when the cooler weather
comes there are seasoning mixes for the fall as well.
For the outdoors, there are three new grilling spices that go
wonderfully on a range of meats, from chicken to pork, beef or any
meat one desires. The Creole seasoning is excellent on fish,
chicken or pork, while the Kansas City and Texas seasoning are
best for pork and beef. Whether on slow-cooked ribs or brisket,
roasted in a smoker or on a steak over open flames, these grilling
spices are sure to be a hit.
Down the road when the months turn a little chillier (no pun intended),
Kansas Chili seasoning and Kathy’s White Chicken Chili
seasoning are perfect for fall days. Having your house filled with
the aroma of chili on the stove while watching the leaves change
is the perfect outcome for any day.
