Flavors of the Nations: Celtic Sea Salt Seasonings

🌿 Creative Ways to Use Celtic Sea Salt Seasonings  

There’s more than one way to use our Flavors of the Nations Celtic Sea Salt—and it’s not just for sprinkling on salads! One of our favorite ways to elevate everyday meals is by using our French Seasoned Celtic Sea Salt in homemade salad dressings. It adds rich, layered flavor without the preservatives and additives found in store-bought versions.

We believe in simple, clean ingredients that enhance your health while transforming your cooking. With every sprinkle, pour, or pinch, you're bringing out the best in your food—and in yourself.

🔥 Grilled Meats & Veggies

Sprinkle on chicken, steak, or fish before grilling to create a flavorful crust. Toss veggies in olive oil and your favorite sea salt blend before grilling for a deeper, more robust taste.

🍿 Gourmet Popcorn

Toss freshly popped popcorn with melted butter or olive oil and a touch of your favorite Celtic Sea Salt for a snack that’s anything but ordinary.

🥔 Roasted Potatoes

Use Herbes de Provence or Garlic Celtic Sea Salt on roasted potatoes for a restaurant-quality flavor boost.

🧈 Seasoned Butter or Olive Oil

Mix your seasoning into soft butter or olive oil for a delicious spread or dip—perfect for fresh bread, breadsticks, or crackers.

🍲 Soups & Stews

Add a dash to soups, chowders, or stews to deepen flavor and round out the dish.

🥚 Egg Dishes

Scrambled, poached, or fried—eggs get an instant upgrade with a sprinkle of flavored sea salt.

🥩 Marinades

Combine with olive oil, garlic, lemon, and herbs for a quick, flavorful marinade that works beautifully on meats, tofu, or veggies.

🍪 Baked Goods

For a surprising sweet-savory combo, sprinkle a little Flavored Celtic Sea Salt over cookies, brownies, or caramels before baking.

About the Chef

Hi there! I’m Sheila Washam — passionate cook, devoted wife, proud mom of four, and grandma to four precious grandbabies. I’m the second of five siblings, and from an early age, I found my happy place in the kitchen. For nearly 30 years, I’ve poured my heart into cooking for family, friends, church events, and anyone who needs a little comfort food in their life.

I love gardening, raising chickens, canning, and all things homesteading. You’ll often find me snapping photos of whatever’s bubbling on the stove or coming fresh out of the oven — and yes, I’m unapologetically that person who shares food pics on Facebook and Instagram.

In 2009, I studied Culinary Arts at the Art Institute of Nashville. While I loved every second of learning and experimenting, I realized that the intense hours of a professional chef didn’t align with raising a family. Instead, I took those skills and let them bloom at home — creating new dishes, testing bold flavor combinations, and feeding both bellies and souls.

Over the years, I’ve catered events (just for fun!), gifted homemade meals, and organized church dinners. Cooking isn’t just a skill for me — it’s how I connect, give, and celebrate life. I’m currently writing a cookbook filled with recipes and stories from my kitchen, and while many have urged me to open a restaurant, I haven’t taken that leap just yet. Never say never, though — they’re still trying!

My husband, Jason, is my partner in life and in the kitchen. We love experimenting together, especially drawing inspiration from our travels and the incredible flavors we’ve discovered around the world. He’s also the genius behind our soon-to-be-released Grilling Glazes — and we can’t wait to share them with you.

Whether you're here for recipes, homesteading tips, or just to follow the food journey — welcome to my kitchen. Let’s cook something delicious together!
