Buying oodles of spices at the grocery store (which you probably don't even use half of) is now a thing of the past. Occo's sleek card decks come neatly packed with eight one-half teaspoon spice pods designed for whipping up all kinds of stuff. Right now, the brand has more than 80 spices available, from cooking essentials like garlic powder and thyme to fancier, chef-recommended ones (with recipes included) for making dishes like char siu chicken kebabs and gooey kimchi mac and cheese.

We're obsessed with almost all the card decks, but American Basics 101 is our favorite. It comes with eight loaded spice cards (so you get 64 individual pods in total) and ensures we're never stuck thinking, Ugh, it's time to make dinner again? again.

The pods are perfect for new cooks or those that want to upgrade their go-to recipes. It includes all the basic cooking spices you regularly use like sweet basil, black pepper and oregano, and every pod stays fresh for up to six months and is 100 percent recyclable. Sounds like a win-win to us.

See you in the kitchen.
