Planning a cookout for the holiday weekend? Swing by and grab your spice packet before they're gone. This month features Smoked Paprika. As always, we thank Grain Train Natural Foods Market for their generous donation of spices!

September’s Page & Pantry Spice Club packets are available now at the Petoskey District Library!

This month’s spice: Smoked Paprika

Smoky, sweet, earthy and mildly peppery, smoked paprika adds rich depth and vibrant color to everything from roasted vegetables and potatoes to meats, soups, beans and sauces.

Try it in guacamole, deviled eggs, tomato soup or vinaigrettes, or mix it with olive oil for roasted chicken. A versatile spice that’s great to keep on hand!

Spice kits are available at the library’s main desk while supplies last. Each kit includes smoked paprika, fun facts, recipes and a QR code linking to cookbooks from the library collection.

Limit one packet per household. Stop by, grab a kit, and discover a new favorite spice this month.
