Festive Pear Pomegranate & Pecan Spinach Salad
Yesterday I jumped in with both feet and came up with three salads I think you’ll really enjoy! The first up is this festive Pear, Pomegranate & Pecan Spinach Salad with Pomegranate Maple Vinaigrette! You see, I was somewhere between planning our Family Thanksgiving menu and scheduling an upcoming Holiday Luncheon when I realized a serious void on Lemony Thyme. I’m really slacking in the festive salad category. That was then, this is now!

Homemade Sazon Seasoning Blend
I recently made Arroz Con Pollo (Latin Chicken & Rice) and the recipe called for Sazon Seasoning. Sazón, which means seasoning in Spanish, is a staple in Latin cooking. When added to soups, stews, and rice dishes it brings a beautiful yellow color. Sure, I could have gone to my local market headed down the International Foods isle and found the familiar yellow and orange box of Sazon packets.

Easy Achiote Oil (made from Annatto Seeds)
Achiote Oil begins with annatto seeds which come from the achiote tree. The tree bears spiky pod-like fruit that contains these bright red seeds. The annatto seeds can be ground into a powder, made into a paste or used to infuse oil. Because of its gorgeous crimson color, annatto seeds can be used as a food coloring or dye with color ranging from yellow to deep orange.
