The Seasoned Home — Local services in Holland

We had the opportunity to shop at Seasoned Home while visiting Holland this week. The shop is adorable and has so many cute and practical kitchen items! We were welcomed by the two people working and offered assistance but we chose to browse a bit. Everything is clearly marked with the ingredients and price so browsing is easy.

It was a hard decision but we ended up with about 6 different spice blends and one tea. Tonight I made a sheet pan dinner and used the Sweet Orange Habanero on some chicken thighs. I was conservative because I was worried it would be too spicy but after cooking and tasting it I added a bit more! The orange flavor is really forward and the habanero comes in a little later with some good warm heat. I used Sweet Bell Pepper Seasoning and Dip on roasted carrots tossed with a little olive oil.

I'm disappointed and the shop has just lost its advantage over...

Writing this review after my first visit (hopefully I will stop in more). I'm not quite a tea connoisseur, but I take my tea quite seriously, and I love loose leaf. The store seemed a bit cluttered, and I was slightly disappointed that it wasn't self serve (I love scooping my own tea for some reason, but I understand why it wouldn't be self serve.). I purchased 4 blends of tea, and in comparison to other tea shops I have visited, it was well priced. I tried one of the flavors I bought (Goji Berry green tea) and I will definitely visit again sometime. If you are looking for the tea shop vibe, you won't find it here, but stopping in is...
