My Review: 

Dede’e Mediterranean cooking and spice website makes me hungry, there are so many wonderful recipes and cooking ideas I would love to try. I had the chance review one of their spices, I picked seven spices to try.  Seven Spice blend,  is used in a large number of Mediterranean dishes. It had 7 different spices including cardamom, allspice and nutmeg. I could really smell the nutmeg, it was very fragrant.

I love to try different kinds of food, and I think fusion is the best way to go. You get to try the best of all worlds together. I wanted to try a make a recipe with the Seven Spices spice, I decided to make a Mediterranean inspired taco fusion dish. As a working mother I need to sometimes make a meal with what we have in the refrigerator, it has to be easy to make and taste good. 

Recipe:
Ground Beef 1lb, Small onion, Small green pepper, salt pepper and DeDe Med's Seven Spice blend. Pack of soft taco shells.
Cook chopped onion, and chopped pepper, sprinkle seven spice. Brown beef, add cooked onions and peppers add salt and pepper to taste. Mix in a teaspoon of DeDe Med's Seven Spice. Stir and serve in taco shells.

My family just loved the dish. It was something they were used to (tacos) but it was a whole new flavor they had never tried before. It really kicked up the dish, and gave it a unique yummy flavor. It can get boring using the same ingredients again and again, it is fun to try new things.  Next I will have to try a more intricate recipe from the website, there are so many delicious looking ones to choose.. What to make next?
What would you make? Here is your chance to try a Seven Spice blend for yourself.
