I’ve noticed a trend in the spice aisles of the local grocery stores: flavor grinders. These are disposable grinders filled with herbs and spices in various combinations. I recently came across some grinders at Trader Joe’s which are my new favorite flavor enhancers while cooking. One is a “sweet” – Chocolate, Coffee Bean & Sugar – for topping coffee drinks, cupcakes, cookies, toast – whatever your little heart desires! The other is a “savory” called Flower Pepper which has Pepper Corns, Lavender and Other Flowers for fish, fowl, salads, etc. Besides the wonderful combinations each of these devices holds, they are notable for one other thing – they are refillable! I haven’t checked yet to see if T J’s carries refills in bulk – that would be awesome!

There are other flavors on the market – these are just my two new favorites! Another one is from McCormick – Cinnamon & Sugar. Wonderful on cut-up fresh fruit, coffee drinks, toast, etc.
