When my daughter Morgan was born with a rare metabolic disorder called Congenital Selective Glucose and Galactose Malabsorption (GGM), my entire world shifted. At the time of her birth in 1992, only 55 people worldwide had been diagnosed with this condition.
Suddenly, food became more than nourishment it became a matter of safety, healing, and survival. Every ingredient had to be scrutinized and every label carefully examined. In those early days, I struggled to find options that were both safe and flavorful.
That experience sparked my decision to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in Nutrition and Food Science from Chapman University. I wanted to truly understand how food interacts with the body and how it can be used to support, not harm, our health.
What began as a deeply personal mission grew into something much bigger: a line of sodium-free, allergen-free, MSG-free, kosher-certified, reduced-sugar custom spice blends called Spicy Spuds and Other Stuff. These spices are made with integrity, intention, and flavor at the forefront. This is not just about spices, it’s about care, science, and heart.
With the USDA’s final sodium reduction requirements for the National School Meal Program, schools must be in compliance by 2027 to receive government reimbursement. Lunch sodium levels are being reduced by an additional 15%, and breakfasts by 10%. Our blends provide an easy, delicious solution to help schools meet these guidelines without sacrificing taste.
Whether you’re a school district, small grocery store owner, health-conscious home cook, busy parent, creative chef, health coach, food truck flavor artist, or food manufacturer seeking clean-label ingredients, Spicy Spuds and Other Stuff delivers powerful taste you can trust. No shortcuts, no junk, just pure, vibrant spices made to fit real lives and real needs.
At Spicy Spuds and Other Stuff, we’re on a mission to make bold, clean flavor accessible to everyone. Our goal is to inspire people to get into the kitchen, maybe for the first time ever. You can take all your food to the next level while saving time and money and eating healthier. Our blends are so easy to use, you don’t even need a recipe. Just sprinkle them on your food like salt and pepper.
We’re here to shake things up without the junk. Our custom spice blends are sodium-free, allergen-free, MSG free, reduced sugar, and kosher certified, so you can add flavor without worry. With bold options like Chipotle Spice, Dessert Spice, Smoky BBQ, and Tangy Garlic Onion, there’s something for every craving.
Sprinkle them on everything: vegetables, meat, poultry, fish, dry rubs, pasta, beans, eggs, fruit, protein shakes, desserts, sweet breads, and even your coffee (yes, really!). It’s clean eating with major flavor. No salt, no nonsense, just good stuff.
Taste the difference. Spice everything.
As a child nutrition director, disturbed by the sight of students choosing convenience store junk food over healthier cafeteria options, Lisa was inspired to improve the appeal and nutritional value of school meals. This led to the creation of Spicy Spuds & Other Stuff a line of custom, sodium-free spice blends designed to make healthy food delicious without the added sodium. Starting in her home kitchen, Lisa experimented with various combinations, crafting blends that were both flavorful and versatile enough for any dish, whether in a home or commercial kitchen.
Our products are ideal for anyone looking to reduce sodium intake, from home cooks to professional chefs and healthcare providers. Retail stores and food manufacturers will also find our sodium-free ingredients align well with increasing consumer demand for healthier food options.
At Spicy Spuds & Other Stuff, our mission is clear: to deliver the highest quality, sodium-free spice blends that are versatile and suitable for both individual and commercial use. We’re dedicated to making healthy eating accessible and enjoyable, helping our customers lead healthier, happier lives.
