For my Deutschland Friends: ROADHOUSE Chicken and Rice

This is a special post for some spices that my family has been enjoying for many months here in Deutschland. They are from a wonderful company named Kindeskinder. The founders are the grandchildren of the famous Karl Konrad, who was a leader in the spice industry in Germany.

Kindeskinder kindly asked me to feature one or more of their spices in a recipe and I was more than happy! I only hope these are available in the States soon!

In our house, we love Roadhouse, its spicy kick makes me want to add it to all of my mexican dishes. For those of you who don’t have Roadhouse, the main spices are: paprika, onions, garlic, red chilis, cumin, coriander, oregano, pepper, basil, and habanero chilis. Now, doesn’t that just sound amazing right there?

Of course, we add veggies and lean protein to all good meals. I love spice blends. I think they make cooking so much more enjoyable. I feel like we are getting back to the kitchen  and cooking more meals from home. Not just any type of meals, but meals from scratch, not from a box.
