🌿🔥 THAT’S A WRAP! SIMPLE SEASONING BLEND! LAST DAY! 10% OFF! FIVE INGREDIENTS. A WHOLE LOT OF PERSONALITY! 😂 Well, we started the week with a seasoning called SIMPLE.

No unnecessary complications. Just savory, earthy, golden goodness! And then we put this little tin to work!

HS Creations Crockpot Herb Chicken & Potatoes — A little culinary chemistry, a whole lot of flavor, and leftovers worth fighting over. I DON’T FOLLOW RECIPES. I MAKE MY OWN. Well, here we go again. I had chicken breasts, potatoes, onions, celery, scallions, and a Crockpot. Nothing particularly exciting. But dinner wasn’t going to make itself. Actually, with a Crockpot, I guess it kind of does. 😂 I wanted something comforting. Not creamy. Not swimming in thick gravy. Just ten

What a week! 🌿🔥 We started with a little Middle Eastern culinary history, explored the chemistry of spices, questioned traditional recipes, and discovered that Shawarma Blend has absolutely no intention of staying inside a pita. 😂 A Little Shawarma History Traditionally, shawarma features seasoned meat slowly roasted on a vertical rotisserie. Delicious? Absolutely. Do most of us have a giant spinning meat tower in our kitchens? Not exactly. 😂 Fortunately, shawarma-inspire

🥩🍂 HS Creations Crockpot Pot Roast: Easy Comfort Food with a Flavorful Twist A classic comfort-food favorite with a hint of European-inspired flavor. I DON’T FOLLOW RECIPES. I MAKE MY OWN. 😂 It started with Betty Crocker’s Easy Crockpot Pot Roast. A perfectly good recipe. But if you know anything about The Organic Chemist, you know I can’t leave a recipe alone! I started thinking about the flavors. What could I add? What could I change? And how could I make this familiar c

A Little History. A Little Mystery. A Whole Lot of Flavor. What did we learn this week at HS Creations? Apparently, I created a seasoning that doesn’t know what food group it belongs to. 😂 And honestly? I LOVE THAT. Inspired by the history of Europe’s second kitchens, Second Kitchen Blend (Kitchen Spice) brings together eight unexpected ingredients: Allspice, Kosher Salt, Lemon Peel, Dry Mustard, Ginger, Black Pepper, Cayenne Pepper, and Nutmeg. Warm. Citrusy. Savory. Pepper

9 Popular Herbal Claims Under the Microscope, By The Organic Chemist | HS Creations, LLC Just because it’s green doesn’t mean the internet got it right. 🌿😂 I recently came across a graphic titled “Herbs You’re Using Wrong.” Nine herbs. Nine very confident claims. And naturally, as the founder and creator of HS Creations, I had questions. I love herbs. I love spices. And I especially love understanding the chemistry behind the ingredients we use every day. But there’s a big

October 11, 2026 | FDA & USDA Safety Watch Several additional food-safety notices deserve attention beyond the five recalls we already covered. These announcements were issued October 6–9, not today.

🌿 THAT’S A WRAP! SAZÓN — WHAT DID WE LEARN THIS WEEK? Who knew a seasoning whose name literally means “seasoning” had so much personality? 😂 This week, we explored HS Creations Sazón Seasoning Blend and discovered that it’s much more than another spice in your pantry. 🌿 The Flavor: Warm, earthy, savory and garlicky. Unlike our bold, chile-forward Al Pastor, Sazón brings flavor without the heat. 🧪 The Ingredients: Coriander, Cumin, Garlic, Kosher Salt, Turmeric, Mexican Or

I Went Down the American Food Rabbit Hole. I Have Questions. 😂 And apparently, I brought a shovel. As the founder and creator of HS Creations and the woman behind The Organic Chemist, I’ve spent six years studying ingredients, creating organic seasoning blends, and asking questions about what goes into our food. And GOOD GRIEF. What a rabbit hole. Ultra-processed foods. Artificial colors. Additives. Food labels. Marketing claims. Ingredients that sound like they belong in a

💙 WELL, LOOK AT US BEING ALL REPUTABLE. 😂 Apparently while I’ve been over here obsessing over organic herbs, arguing with seasoning ratios and generally behaving like The Organic Chemist, we hit another little milestone. 🎉 2 YEARS as a BBB Accredited Business. ⭐ A+ RATING. For a very small business, that means something to me. HS Creations was built on doing things the right way — quality ingredients, honest products, taking care of our customers and standing behind what w

Well… We started the week with a blend called Savory Stuffing. So obviously we were going to talk about stuffing. And then we basically ignored the word “stuffing.” 😂 Because that was the whole point of this week. Inside this little tin are: 🌿 Celery 🧅 Onion 🌿 Parsley 🧂 Kosher Salt 🍗 Chicken Bouillon 🌿 Sage 🖤 Black Pepper Seven ingredients already working together. That classic warm, savory combination isn’t useful only when there’s a turkey sitting on the table. We s

Meet Rani: The Queen of the Spice Cabinet 👑 Some blends are obvious. Garlic? Easy. Then there’s Garam Masala—the blend you look at and think: “This sounds fabulous. What exactly do I DO with it?” 😂 Meet HS Creations Rani Blend. “Rani” means queen, which seems rather appropriate for this warm, aromatic blend of: Cumin • Coriander • Black Pepper • Cardamom • Cinnamon • Clove • Nutmeg Seven spices. One tin. No salt. You control the salt. Rani handles the flavor. 👑 What Can Yo

One blend. One Crock-Pot. Dinner done. I had these gorgeous thick pork loin pieces and thought: What the hell am I doing with these? Then I remembered… Oh, right. I MAKE SPICE BLENDS. 😂🌿 Out came HS Creations Tuscan Blend — and that was the ONLY seasoning I used. No measuring garlic powder. No hunting for oregano. No salt, pepper and seventeen little jars covering the counter. ONE. BLEND. DONE. What You’ll Need 🐷 Thick pork loin pieces 🥔 Baby potatoes 🧅 1 onion, cut in

😂🥚🧀 I FOUND A RECIPE. Rancher Blend: Ranch Isn’t Just for Dressing Anymore What can you use ranch seasoning on besides salad? Apparently, quite a lot. 😂 We spent this week featuring HS Creations Rancher Blend, and if there’s one thing we learned, it’s this: Rancher refuses to stay in the dressing aisle. With just eight ingredients — Buttermilk, Onion, Parsley, Chive, Garlic, Dill, Kosher Salt and Black Pepper — Rancher brings that familiar creamy, savory, herby, garlicky

This week, we put HS Creations Radical Seasoning Blend to work—and it definitely lived up to its name. Radical combines Kosher Salt, Garlic, Black Pepper, Oregano, White Pepper, Dry Mustard, Celery Seed and Paprika in one carefully balanced blend. As The Organic Chemist, I’ve said it all week: the magic isn’t simply what goes into a blend. It’s how those ingredients work together. We tried Radical on steak, chicken, burgers, eggs, vegetables and more. The conclusion? It’s the
