This is one of my favorite spice blends!
Our favorite way to use this is to blend it with some oil and citrus juice to use as a marinade for grilled chicken skewers!
It would also be great in a rice pilaf or adding it to some olive oil and dip pita bread into it. Yum!

Thanks for the link, Sar :) I thought you got those spice blend recipes from a book or something, and since I didn't know what it was, I just said it was from you.... because that's where I got it from.

Okay, I have a confession - I'm sorry to mislead. I'm not that good at putting together spices, so I stole this recipe from someone else: http://www.maryjanesfarm.org/farmgirl-connection/ xoxo, Sarah
