So over the past week, I've been contacted by several satisfied customers, many of which passed on new and interesting uses for Bodacious Blends!  Tips we have received include using Bodacious Blends Lemon Powder on sandwiches - the kind of sandwich wasn't mentioned, but I suspect that it would brighten up anything you'd care to put between bread.

Another satisfied customer stated that Bodacious Blends Citrus Blend adds great flavor to chicken or tuna salad, without the need to add anything else.

And, speaking from personal experience, Bodacious Blends Lemon Powder is the perfect accompaniment to any mild, white-fleshed fish.

Today's recipe makes a delicious side dish, but to be honest I would be perfectly happy making it the main course.

Lemon Garlic Broccoli
 Two broccoli crowns
 Medium onion, diced
Half teaspoon Bodacious Blends Lemon Powder
Half teaspoon Bodacious Blends Garlic Powder

Saute the diced onion until gently translucent, then add the broccoli crowns (and stems), cut into florets.  Add half teaspoon or generous pinch Bodacious Blends Lemon and Garlic Powders, then continue to saute until the florets are a deep, bright green, or about ten minutes total.  Serves two to four.

Taking a working vacation in upstate New York, researching new blend ideas!

Feel free to weigh in on which of the two following concepts should be the first to become a Bodacious Blend:

Bloody Mary Dip Mix, a zesty blend designed to bring to mind the famous cocktail, or:
Gingerbread Cake Seasoning, for adding the warm, toasty flavor of homemade gingerbread to your desserts?

Sunday's stand at the One Spirit Festival.

Today's recipe: Orange Steak.

Sprinkle Bodacious Blends Orange Powder over steak.  Cook over high heat in a non-stick frying pan.  When steak is done, place on platter to rest and deglaze the pan with some beef stock to make a sauce.  This dish goes well with dark, leafy greens such as kale or broccoli rabe.  Try seasoning the greens with Bodacious Blends Garlic Powder!

By far the most popular of the samples was the Sour Cream Onion dip - here's how to reproduce it.

8 oz. good-quality sour cream
1 tsp. Bodacious Blends Onion Powder
1/2 tsp. Bodacious Blends Garlic Powder

Mix all three ingredients, and let sit for half an hour so flavors can blend.
