Greetings, Mystic Meows!

In this unprecedented and crazy time we’re all living through, the one thing that’s been going on and on in my mind is how now, more than ever, it’s essential to keep being creative and reaching for something new. Keeping ourselves occupied with the possibilities and opportunities that lay hidden underneath the overwhelming realities that we’ve all had to conform to. Sometimes in the depths of the negatives that may be surrounding us, it’s hard to see the positives that are also right there in front of us as well. So with that being said, I’ve decided to roll the dice and take one hell of a risk. Starting my own small business selling my own unique line of seasoning spice blends. Mystic Seasonings. Meow!

It’s funny how the best ideas can literally be right under your nose. Throughout this pandemic, I’ve been asked countless times by friends and family for recipe ideas, and ways to jazz up the ordinary meals that so many of us have to think about and make every day since we’re going out less and less and preparing our food at home. As a Chef, it’s definitely pushed me to try new things, styles of cuisine, methods of cooking, etc. I love all kinds of food… From all over the world. So why not create some groovy as hell seasonings, using everything I’ve learned about while cooking in both professional kitchens and at home? And pass that on to you meows so you can create the most epic mystic meals and make those food memories that’ll get everyone in your realm coming back for seconds and thirds!

So here’s the gist…

My line of spice blends are unique for several reasons. There are no fillers, anti caking agents, or msg. Every batch is made to order and hand crafted by yours truly, so we’re talking small batches, here! Keeping the product as fresh and as potent as possible, while using high quality ingredients such as Spanish Saffron, Molasses Powder, Himalayan Sea Salt, Peppercorns (not that pre ground sawdust pepper stuff), toasted and hand ground herbs and spices, and lots and lots of TLC. Each seasoning blend has it’s own signature flavor profile making it easy to incorporate into the dishes you already know and even easier to start making something fun, exciting, and new to add to your cooking repertoire for anyone at ANY kitchen skill level.

The mixes are… :

Mystic Adobo –

If you’ve ever used Goya products, then you’ll already be familiar with this all purpose seasoning blend. You can literally sprinkle this stuff into anything you choose. It adds that little extra something that goes beyond just salt, pepper, and garlic. I use it all the time and I hope you will, too!

Mystic Sazon/Taco Seasoning-

This one’s a bit of a game changer in the kitchen. Wanna give your food that Hispanic touch? From Spanish style yellow rice, to soups, stews, beans, marinades, taco and fajita night… this spice blend is it! With a distinct Saffron flavor and notes of cumin and coriander, it’s another mix that’ll soon become a staple in your kitchen for sure!

Mystic Jerk Blend-

Afro Caribbean cuisine is a huge part of my Puerto Rican/Colombian roots and growing up in The Bronx, Jamaican food was everywhere. My Jerk Seasoning is the perfect balance of aromatics like cinnamon, cloves, and allspice, with that spicy kick of cayenne and scotch bonnet pepper, rounded out by the deep sweetness of cane sugar and molasses. Meows… It’s sooooo goood!! Marinate your chicken, fish, seafood, vegetables, and tofu in this stuff and I guarantee you’ll be like, DAMN!!! That’s some tasty grub!

Each seasoning blend comes in 7oz reusable glass jars with 2 different lid options, one made of cork, and the other a clear grip top plastic. They also come with a cute little wooden spoon attached by twine, for that homemade touch so you can sprinkle the spices on your food! I think they’re adorable and the fact that you can repurpose the jars once their empty is pretty neat. The gift that keeps on giving!

Right now I’m taking preorders on my social media platforms, Mystic Meals Instagram DM, and Facebook messaging ( under Mystic Meals, of course ) via PayPal. These pretty ladies are currently selling as a trio set for $35.00 plus $10.00 shipping. I do have some international customers as well and will have to figure out the shipping costs depending upon where you meows are in the world, but I’ll get them to you!!

My goal is to set up ordering here on this website by adding a PayPal button or online store. I’m shooting for the first week of October 2020! I’m super excited for you all to try them out and get cooking with them!! It’s an honor for me to be even a small part of your kitchen routine and there’s more unique, crazy, and delicious seasonings on the way! I’ve got big dreams, meows and I am aiming HIGH! 😛 Thank you all for coming along on this journey with me. I hope this next culinary chapter will inspire us to keep pushing through and challenging ourselves to try new dishes and take a leap of faith, no matter what it is!

Thank you all so much for being here, reading my madness, and for all of the encouragement and support. It means more than I could ever say or write in words.

Until we eat again, mystic friends… Be safe out there. Stay well, and take care!

Cheers, hugs, and meows!
