Cut back on salt, butter and vegetable oil by adding flavor with spices.
Meals are made flavorful by adding various spices. You don’t have to fry your food or saturate your meals with salt, butter and vegetable oil to make a meal savory. Experiment with various spices, herbs, garlic, vinegar and lemon juice.
My absolute favorite spices and ones that you will always find in my kitchen cupboard are the following:
- Thyme
- Rosemary
- Garlic Powder
- Curry Powder
- Red Pepper Flakes
- Herbes de Provence
- Jerk Seasoning Blend
- Cajun Seasoning Blend
My favorite perishable items are as follows:
- Salsa
- Garlic
- Cilantro
- Parsley
- Scallions
- Red Onions
- Lemon Juice
- Balsamic Vinegar
- Red Wine Vinegar
- Scotch Bonnet Pepper
- Ready made Basil Pesto
If you are not a natural cook, invest in a cookbook. Spice up your cooking by experimenting with cuisines from different parts of the world. I am particularly fond of Caribbean and Italian cuisine. What is your favorite cuisine?
Spice It up, eliminate fat and salt. It’s all about ‘Taste For Your Waist.’
