It's Natalie!

Not everyone knows the face behind the brand, and here you are!
I'm Natalie, and I'm THE spice girl!
I fell in love with these before they were a thing, because of the awesome flavor that can be packed into each one of these jars. I've had TONS of people look at me with disbelief when I tell them there's no salt or sugar in the blend they just tried. "You're kidding.... but it's so good!" they say. My heart warms every time.
Its a challenge for sure to get that perfect mix of spices to make that happen, but MAN, It's worth it in the end!
I used to have an extensive spice cabinet in my home kitchen, but with life being busy, trying to keep up with Hart's Desire, now, I just stock my own blends and call it good. I can get all the flavor I really want, and don't have to spend the time trying to remember which concoction out of the cupboard I used last time to make the chili so good. One and done is a time-saver for sure!
That gives me a little more time to mess with new flavors when I need to, without sacrificing the flavor that keeps me eating at home instead of going out all the time.
These jars are also a huge win! Glass top, Glass base, good seal, and a pressure-fit top is all I need to keep my spices tasting fresh for years! (as if they last that long in my kitchen, LOL!) I tested it out on our Jambalaya Blend some time ago... Jambalaya is one of our most vololtile blends, the spices that go into it lose flavor quickly in the grand scheme of things, so what better blend to test on?
So! I let one a large jar of Jambalaya Mix sit in my cupboard for about 5 years, of course, I used it occasionally, made sure that I didn't use much, else why bother testing. So, after about 4, 4/12 years it was about as strong as I would expect of these same ingredients coming from the supermarket. I don't know about you, but to me that was HUGE!!!
This is truly a labor of love, and flavor. Enjoy!!!
