The stories behind each blend.
Stella Mae’s All Purpose Seasoning
The one that started it all.
Every kitchen has that one seasoning you reach for without thinking—the flavor that makes every dish better, no matter what’s on the stove. For Stella Mae’s, that’s our All Purpose Seasoning.
Born in Keith Jenkins’ Anchorage kitchen, this blend was crafted out of necessity: six siblings to feed, a budget to stretch, and meals that needed to taste like love every single time. It had to work on everything—seafood, chicken, veggies, even snacks—because there was no room for waste and no time for bland.
This isn’t your average all-purpose salt. It’s a soulful mix of herbs and spices designed to elevate every bite with depth, warmth, and balance. It’s versatile enough for a quick weeknight dinner, bold enough for a Sunday soul food spread, and simple enough that even the kids can shake it on their fries.
All Purpose Seasoning represents more than convenience—it represents the heart of Stella Mae’s: flavor built on resilience, culture, and the belief that food should always bring people together.
Stella Mae’s Sweet Fire
A little sweet. A little heat. A whole lot of soul.
If All Purpose is the foundation, Sweet Fire is the remix—the same soulful backbone now turned up with a perfect harmony of sugar, spice, and everything nice. It’s that irresistible balance of sweet comfort and bold heat that makes you pause mid-bite, smile, and go back for more.
Keith created Sweet Fire for those moments when dinner needed more attitude and a touch of charm. Growing up, there was always someone at the table asking for “more heat,” and someone else craving a little sweetness. This blend became the answer. It’s the flavor bridge that brings everyone together—fiery enough to make a statement, yet smooth enough to keep the peace.
Farmers market fans all across Colorado can’t get enough. It’s a bestseller that keeps selling out, with loyal customers returning again and again—each time for a bigger jar. And it’s easy to see why: Sweet Fire delivers a slow, satisfying warmth that never overpowers, just amplifies everything it touches.
With rich layers of brown sugar, cayenne, garlic, paprika, and a hint of savory depth, this blend adds heat with heart. It’s incredible on chicken wings, flank steak, shrimp, and veggie medleys of every kind. It turns ordinary fries into something unforgettable—and it’s the secret behind countless backyard “what did you put on this?” moments.
Because at Stella Mae’s, we believe flavor should hit like a memory—and leave you wanting more.
This isn’t just seasoning. It’s balance. It’s bold.
It’s Sweet Fire.
Stella Mae’s Backyard Bonfire Blend
Smoky, soulful, built for the fire.
At Stella Mae’s, every spice blend tells a story—of family, community, and the soulful meals that bring us together. Backyard Bonfire was born from long nights around the grill, where laughter lingers in the smoke, music carries us past midnight, and the fire becomes the heartbeat of the gathering.
Inspired by our Alaskan roots and guided by soul food tradition, this blend layers bold spice with deep, smoky undertones. It’s crafted for those who know the best conversations happen after dark—when the coals glow, the plates stay full, and the flavor keeps everyone coming back for one more bite.

Stella Mae’s Denali Citrus Blend
Bright zest. Bold soul. Pure Alaskan spirit.
At Stella Mae’s, every blend carries a legacy—of resilience, togetherness, and the meals that bring us closer. Denali Citrus was inspired by the crisp mornings and fresh bounty of Alaska, where the mountain air is sharp, the gardens are vibrant, and every meal needs a touch of brightness to balance the cold.
Built from layers of lemon and orange peel, garlic, and sweet bell peppers, this blend delivers a fresh, zesty spark without losing the depth and soul Stella Mae’s is known for. It’s a little sunshine, a little grit, and the perfect way to wake up chicken, seafood, or roasted veggies with vibrant flavor.
