Time for a Taste of Something New - Penzeys Spices

Dear Penzeys,
Our family had to pack a quick
lunch this weekend. I made Turkey
Wraps with a liberal sprinkle of
Penzeys Sandwich Sprinkle. My
daughter loved them. She asked
if she tasted oregano. We usually
have Sandwich Sprinkle on our sub
sandwiches. Thus, her picture! (See
below.)
Thanks for family memories!

I consider myself a rather
adventurous bread baker. I use
Penzeys seasoning mixes in basic
white or whole wheat yeast bread
recipes, which results in a flavor that
intrigues the people who taste it. A
couple tablespoons is all it takes.
Mural of Flavor is especially fun to
use because only the diehard Penzeys
fans can figure out what it is! I add
Pizza Seasoning to my basic beer
bread recipe, and end up with Pizza
and Beer Bread. This is a hit at bake
sales! Practically every seasoning mix
can be used successfully and when
baked in something other than a
standard bread pan, delights people
even more.
I am lucky enough to live just an
hour from each of the Penzeys stores
in Michigan. I prefer to drive to shop,
mostly because of the incredible
olfactory rush when I walk in the
door. –Marilyn M.
My younger sister and I were in
charge of favors for our older sister
Jeanette’s baby shower. Jeanette
happens to LOVE Penzeys and has
turned almost everyone she knows
on to them (including us). So in my
searching all things baby/girl trying
to find a clever idea, I came upon the
poem that says “sugar and spice and
all that’s nice!” Eureka!
Well, that was it, sugar and spice
mix for all. Used the blank Penzeys
labels that come with the jars, covered
them with clear labels that I was able
to run through my computer and
customized them with the words
“Sugar and Spice and all that’s nice,
Jeanette’s baby shower June 5th 2010”
and also included the contents and
ingredients. Wrapped them all up in
clear/ducky cellophane so everyone
could see inside and WOW what a hit
they were! Thank You, Penzeys!

These are some of the little
stinkers for whom I “cook.” I
specialize in wildlife rehabilitation.
Any skunk in need (whether it be
injured, sick or orphaned) in the
Houston, Texas area comes into my
care until it can be returned, happy
and healthy, back into the wild. Part
of keeping the skunks healthy is
keeping them pest-free, so I mix a
little Penzeys granulated garlic into
their meals to dissuade fleas and
other external parasites. As you can
see from the photo, they LOVE it!

Just received your latest catalog.
Such a great publication! My
daughter-in-law Angela introduced
me to Penzeys about a year ago. I love
your spices. Your gift sets and recipes
are excellent.
Don’t know how I didn’t discover
your company sooner. Keep it up!
