About Us

Before the “lockdown”, let me explain my so called “cooking” skills… I could cook, but never really wanted to, I can be a tad lazy. It’s just my husband and I so we liked to eat out 3-4 times a week. It’s easier with both our schedules.  At the time I was not working outside of the house and I found, by some weird reason, an interesting hobby, dehydrating fresh herbs, citrus, and the spices. The amazingly fresh and potent aroma and flavor from this astounded me, so I used the small amount of what I could dehydrate for meals when I did cook. Then, Covid hit. We all got shut down. No more going out to eat. Hard to get groceries and supplies. Shelves were empty. With that, I got creative and started cooking more at home.

The first thing I realized was that by not cooking very often in the past, all the herbs and spices in the pantry were old and had lost potency. After looking in the grocery store, I found store bought spices and herbs to be ridiculously expensive and some had ingredients that I could not understand without a degree in chemistry! On top of this, the potency was nowhere near what I knew it should be from comparing it to freshly dehydrated herbs at home. This started me on a path to find better flavor at affordable prices. I started using my dehydrated herbs instead of store-bought. It brought me to a new level. Once I started, I thought, no way, I could go back to those non-organic, chemical store-bought blends. The difference was amazing, and I wanted to share this with friends.

The next thing is that all our friends loved the few blends I started with and wanted me to keep up with an increasing demand for them! This helped me realize that there were probably a lot of other people who would love to have the fresh gourmet flavors as well, but I already could not dehydrate at home and keep up with demand.

While my husband and I started researching the proper way to set up a business, I started looking for suppliers who could provide fresh, certified organic, non-GMO herbs and spices with a potency matching what I could create with the dehydrator.

So it started, slowly, but I got there. Over time I would get suggestions from friends on various blends from around the world that they wanted to have with the freshness of the blends I was already creating. At the same time we received our official license from California to operate as HS Creations, LLC. (HS is for the Herbs and Spices I use in the blends).

The Blends we make today are pure organic, healthy, and natural. What you see, is what you get, no hidden additives. The Blends I create save space, money, and time. There is something for everyone’s taste. You don’t need to be a “cook” to enjoy these gourmet flavors……We even use these Blends on our frozen meals! I believe that everyone deserves to have gourmet flavor no matter what, it just brightens people’s day!  Bon Appetite!
