Wifely Steps

A set of pre-packed spices caught my eye at the supermarket a few weeks ago. McCormick’s Recipe Inspirations it was called. For Php 86.25, you get six kinds of pre-measured spices and a recipe. My sister and I picked the Apple & Sage Pork Chops set.

According to the package, that’s Rubbed Sage, Minced Garlic, Thyme Leaves, Ground Allspice and Paprika. You have to buy the rest of the ingredients for the dish. They’re conveniently listed at the back of the product.

What I really like about this product is that the dried herbs are pre-measured. I’ve had bottles of dried herbs go to waste because I’d end up forgetting about them being in the cupboard. Sometimes I’d have no recipe to use them for. This set of pre-measured herbs is super convenient for one who doesn’t want to go about measuring AND for one who wants to avoid ingredients going to waste.

What the hell is that?! That, my friends, is Apple & Sage Pork Chops. It’s a brown, brown, brown dish. Maybe some fresh herbs would have livened the plate up. Nonetheless, the dish was delicious. It was a good recipe!

We got this kit from Shopwise. My sister and I are thinking of getting the other McCormick’s sets and trying them out. Looks promising.

First a cupcake kit, now an herb kit for a pork chop dish. These kits are making kitchen work so much friendlier and more enjoyable, methinks!
