Spices: Nutmeg

When I think of holiday food, certain spices always come to mind. Nutmeg is one of them. And about a year ago, I discovered freshly ground nutmeg. I will never buy the pre-ground nutmeg again, because the flavor is so much better when you grate it yourself! It is easy to find - you should be able to find it in the spice section in any grocery store. All you need is a fine grater, and your recipes with nutmeg will be taken to a whole new level!
