WHAT TO READ THIS WEEK
A Winter Table Elevated by Simply Organic
Holiday cooking tends to focus on the big centerpieces, yet the spirit of the season comes through long before any roast reaches the table. It shows up in the air. A hint of cinnamon when someone walks through the door. A trace of vanilla drifting from a cooling rack. A warm mix of spices rising as a pot gets stirred. These small signals set the tone for December, and Simply Organic has shaped them for years by offering spices that bring depth, comfort, and intention to every dish.
Great holiday food depends on balance. Sweet with bright edges. Savory with quiet warmth. Aromas that feel familiar yet still spark a bit of curiosity. Simply Organic spices do that work effortlessly. Vanilla extract, Ceylon cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, garlic powder, and black pepper. Each one adds its own character. Together, they create dishes that feel generous and welcoming even before the first bite.
This season, we are highlighting recipes that capture the full spectrum of what Simply Organic brings to a holiday kitchen. Some lean festive and sweet. Others add nuance to everyday dishes. All of them show how much impact the right spice can make.
Vanilla extract and Ceylon cinnamon give this cookie a steady, fragrant backbone beneath the peppermint. The result is a treat that feels familiar but has a deeper finish. It is the kind of cookie that disappears from the tray before anyone notices they already took a second.
Sweet cranberries and warm cinnamon wrapped in crisp pastry deliver a simple but striking holiday bite. These are easy to place on any table, and even easier to watch vanish as guests drift by.
Vanilla extract might not be the first ingredient you expect in a salad dressing, but paired with cinnamon, garlic powder, and black pepper, it creates a surprising coherence. This salad brings fresh contrast to heavy holiday plates.
Nutmeg and cloves add quite a complexity, while vanilla and cinnamon round everything out. These truffles work well as a small gift or as the final bite after a long evening of holiday dishes.
Garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and black pepper. The layering here creates a savory sweetness that belongs on a holiday table. These carrots command attention without needing to be the main event.
Ginger and nutmeg cut through the richness of the brie while cinnamon and vanilla add a gentle holiday note. These are reliable for any gathering and tend to disappear quickly.
Ceylon cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and vanilla extract do what they do best. They turn simple batter into something that feels tied to memory and tradition. This cake carries the signature aromas of the season and holds its own on any dessert table.
Because the holidays rely on scent and ritual, and a warm rush of cinnamon or vanilla often signals that the season has arrived.
