Caraway Cheese Soft Pretzels from RawSpiceBar

A few months ago we were approached to try out RawSpiceBar, a monthly subscription that delivers 3 hand-picked, small batch, freshly ground spice blends.  Each RawSpiceBar’s monthly spice box contains 1-2 ounces of spice blends, that you use to create, with the included kitchen-tested, detailed recipes, three dishes for serving 8-10.

My husband and I love to cook but are always at a loss of what to make.  When I checked out RawSpiceBar, I thought it would be the perfect way to get us trying new recipes and enjoy meals we wouldn’t have otherwise thought to make.

We got the October spice box which included spices to make Caraway Cheese Soft Pretzels, Horseradish and Mustard Cabbage and German Chicken Schnitzel.. all perfect for a Oktoberfest meal.  We decided to jump in and make the pretzels for some friends coming over to watch football.  They were fun to make and really good. It was great to have a little inspiration and make something new.

At $8 for one month or $6/ month for 12 months it is such a fun idea and a great present for anyone on your list who like us loves to cook and has an adventurous palate!
