I can't live without my herbs and spices. They add character, flavor, and spark to a not-so-tasty dish. Does this bowl of clam chowder look yummy or what? Even if you aren't a fan of clam chowder, the added spices make your eyes take another look. Not only do spices and herbs add flavor, but they also act as a garnish -to add color and beauty to a plain and boring plate of food. You know what they say, "People eat with their eyes first. My brother told me if you can make macaroni and cheese look good, you can make anything look good. In the dish of macaroni and cheese below, the green curly parsley adds interest and color. The same could be said for this meatball. The question is, what spices/herbs do I use with beef? Does dill go well with fish? How do I add flavor to a baked potato? I'm sure you've asked similar questions, too. I've created an herb and spice reference chart. It contains options and suggestions when choosing spices for meat, poultry, fish, vegetables, and anything in between. I keep the chart posted to the inside of one of my kitchen cupboard doors. It comes in handy anytime I'm not sure what spices/herbs to use. Or, I'm feeling creative (or bored) and want to try something new. It's available as a free download. All you have to do is click on the image at the top of this page ( or the button underneath it), and it'll bring you to the download page. So, spice up your food - and your life. Print out the free download, post to the inside of your kitchen cupboard and transform your meals into flavorful, beautiful and impressive dishes - just by using herbs and spices.
