Seasoning Herbs
Seasoning Herbs

Are you experimenting with herbs, spices and seasoning and spicing up your meals? Sometimes, it can feel like your favorite recipes are falling a little flat. After making the same dish time after time, you may begin to find that your meals leave you wanting a little more flavor. Maybe you should add a sprinkle of herbs and spices, although this can be tough to do, if you aren't sure what spices work with what dishes.
So, how do you know if your meals aren't up to par anymore? Do you frequently add table salt to your meals once you've put it on your plate? How about extra pepper? If you answered yes to these questions, then it's likely that you need to experiment with your spices and herbs a little more.
Here's an example: say you're roasting a chicken. What do you put on it to help the flavor really pop? The first thing you need to do is decide what you would like as a side dish. If you want roasted red potatoes, you could simply add some olive oil to your chicken with some roast chicken seasoning and a touch of rosemary, which will compliment your parsley roasted red peppers. But, if you're looking for something a little different, then you need to experiment with herbs, spices and seasonings to add a great new flavor to your roasted chicken.
Many people don't realize that fresh herbs and spices are actually very easy to use and can compliment any dish. Consider starting with your basic spices if you're new to using them. Choose seasonings that almost any kitchen will have, such as garlic salt and sea salt, which is a great alternative to table salt in recipes and has much less sodium. Consider having spices such as oregano, cinnamon, lemon pepper and a basic all purpose seasoning. Next, you need to add some fresh herbs, such as basil and cilantro, which are easy to work with. You can add the fresh basil to Italian and pasta dishes, but don't feel as if you're limited there. Cilantro has a more complex flavor which is wonderful in salads, and sauces. Any time you want a fresh, clean flavor to your foods; fresh herbs are the way to go. Use fresh parsley finely chopped in cream sauces and soups such as cream of potato for an added dimension.
As you begin to be able to recognize the individual flavors of your new herbs, spices and seasonings, you should begin to recognize what will work well together. For instance, when you're creating a meal with a spicy type of meat, you can choose a rice dish with flavors that will compliment and work with your meats. Grill up some veggies and you have a wonderful, fresh meal.
If you're beginning to feel like all your meals are becoming repetitive and boring, it might be time to consider cleansing your palette and sampling some new flavors. The best way to do this is to begin experimenting with new herbs, spices and seasonings to see what you can create.
Remember that some of the best foods come from right in your head, when you develop a recipe that you love, don't hesitate to write them down. The point is that you should feel free to branch out a little bit and enjoy the seasonings that you add to your foods. Working with fresh herbs, spices and seasonings can give all your food the excitement you've really been craving.
