Lola's Spices the beginning!
This journey began in 2011. As a busy teacher, it became a challenge to eat clean and healthy. We craved food with bold flavors, but we didn't always have the time to prepare meals that were satisfying with the bold flavors we love.
With few options, I began creating spice blends that could be used quickly to add the spicy, bold flavors we love, which were also low sodium, free of MSG, and did not contain "free-flowing agents" or other unpronounceable ingredients.
