CW Dressings
Dress up your sauce profile with CW Dressings, a date based company that offers just a touch of sweetness in every bottle.
Trade out a basic BBQ sauce for their Date Barbecue Sauce. A slow simmered sauce that is bursting with smoky flavor. I used this dressing for marinating some ribs and popped them in the oven for about two hours. Once they were cooked the sauce with the meat was absolutely delicious. I added the Sweet Date Hot Sauce to the ribs as well for a slight kick. This sauce contains a 5 Pepper Blend: Aged cayenne pepper, guajillo chili pepper, scotch bonnet chili pepper, black pepper, and chipotle pepper. The hot sauce is perfect to add to a bland microwave dinner to give it some spice or drizzled over homemade nachos. For my at-home salads the Date Balsamic Vinaigrette Marinade & Dressing has been a recent go-to. It has a classic balsamic flavor and with a sweet edge from the dates without added sugars. CW Dressings is a certified service-disabled Black veteran owned business located in Fayetteville, North Carolina. Shop small business and big flavor with CW Dressings!

Elevate salt and pepper–together–with Spesh Blends. A twelve blend of various salts and peppers from all over the globe.

The blend offers a flavorful experience to even the most basic of dishes.

Spesh’s Tuscan Herb seasoning is my replacement for basic Italian herbs from the grocery store. This blend contains the original blend with additions like Marjoram, garlic, Mediterranean Thyme and Mediterranean Oregano. The flavor profile is slightly spicy, zesty, and loads of garlic (yummmmm). I sprinkle this on top of creamy chicken stews, pasta dishes, and even popcorn for that Italian flair without the trip. Spesh Blends are a small investment with big flavor pay off.
