Review & Recipes: Mrs. Dash Spices

 “I wrote this review while participating in a campaign by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Mrs. Dash and received a gift certificate to thank me for taking the time to participate.”

I am really enjoying the Mrs. Dash campaign I am a part of this year!  They have supplied me with a great deal of their spices!

My family and I have loved using them on everything from eggs to hamburgers, soups to sauces and everything in between!

We love that they are all salt-free.  My hubby and Mom (who is with us for a while) have blood pressure issues so we steer away from salt and Mrs. Dash salt-free spices have made that so easy without losing any of the flavor!

Here are a few of the recipes they gave me to share with you:
