Big news over here for our small business!

Meet Randy Smith, Pinch’s new Operations Manager (running our factory in Louisville KY)!!

Pinch has been growing wildly thanks to your support and you sharing our organic spices with your friends and family. Thank you for making this big next step possible!!

Randy’s our first full-time hire, and we’re so excited for him to be here. Originally from West Virginia, he’s now settled in Louisville with his wife Jenelle and their beloved 9-year-old pup Tucker.

Randy attended college for athletic training nursing, but when he realized he didn’t like needles, he transitioned to culinary training in Italian and Vietnamese French cuisine. He knows his way around both restaurant and home kitchens.

His last role was working for an ice cream company, dreaming up and perfecting ice cream recipes, selling that goodness online, running its entire operations, and shipping tubs of happiness around the country.

His “culinary mind runs wild” at Pinch and he’s looking forward to learning even more about spices and “being part of a company that does spices the right way”. He doesn’t like how so many food brands are cutting corners on quality; sacrificing taste and health in the name of saving money, and ultimately putting customers on the losing end of things. He’s excited to be working for “one of the good companies” who don’t take shortcuts and only offer the highest quality products.

His culinary background and experience running food operations will help Pinch streamline our factory operations, speed up order delivery, help us expand products and other offerings, and help us grow in a smart, scalable way.

In his spare time, he coaches high school football at his former alma mater where kids call him “Unc”. He has a passion for coaching, and loves helping kids meet their goals on and off the field. He calls himself a nerd at heart and enjoys collecting football cards, playing video games and cooking meals for people he loves.

We’re so honored to have Randy on our side, and we can’t wait to see where we are a few weeks, months, and years down the line thanks to his contributions.

Please help us welcome him to the Pinch fam! :)

Like you cooked it but you don't even want to taste it...
or if you do try it, you can't even really taste it because you're just SO DONE with it.

Do we need to make up a new word for this?

(Meaghan just had a "fight" with a lasagna and may have felt like this last week)

Who else is excited about deviled-egg season? 😉

The Finger Licken' seasoning makes it so easy and yummy! The Aleppo makes a pretty garnish but you can substitute smoked or regular paprika...

It's Thomas' birthday! Please help me (Meaghan here) wish him a happy 49th! 🥳

If you don't know him yet, he's the founder/owner of Pinch Spices Market, and the heart and brilliance behind our spices.

Since 2012, he's been searching the world for the highest quality organic spices. He finds the best of the best herbs and spices, and is the reason Pinch is becoming everyone's favorite organic spice company.

He does a lot - from managing close relationships with farmers and running operations and inventory, to creating blends (and still mixing them by hand daily), handling importing, and so much more.

And while he's balancing the craziness of running a rapidly growing business, he's the chilliest, nicest, most genuine person ever. He's everyone's favorite guy.

I'm so grateful he's not only my partner in spice, but also my partner in life.

Cheers to many more years of spice together!

Pie-shame? What's that? We're all about breaking the rules and eating pumpkin pie whenever the heck we want! Whether you're having a case of the Mondays or just need a pick-me-up, pie is the answer. And the best part? It's ridiculously easy to make! In a rush? Grab a premade crust (no one's judging). Recipe? Um, it's on the can...
1 crust,
1 can pumpkin
1 can evaporated milk
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
and a big ol' spoonful of Pinch Spice Market Pumpkin Pie Seasoning (the magic ingredient).
Mix, pour, bake at 425F for 40 minutes, and... done! Well, maybe let it sit and cool down before you devore this thing.
Optional (but let's be real, necessary) pumpkin spice whipped cream:
1 cup heavy cream
2 Tablespoons powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4Pinch Spice Market Pumpkin Pie Seasoning (because of the magic).
Mix until firm and creamy, and then live in the moment... guilt-free!
