Spices To Use In Cooking

Do not have the money to make delectable dishes?

Or just do not know the secrets of taste with spices and herbs, and making food stretch?

The former is never right, no matter what your income is.

If you have the money to buy enough food for at least feed your family then you have enough money to do everything we feed them enjoyable, even if it is a vegetable dish.

Yes, with the right spices or herbs, and recipes, children in your family will come to love vegetables. My family has several favorite vegetable dishes, which our children love so much they want seconds. And the main secret they are the spices we use.

These dishes range from Ratatouille, Eggplant Parmigiani, to stewed tomatoes and stuffed zucchini (for information on these or other recipes feel free to send a message to sweetstuff245@hotmail.com).

Just as they do with vegetables, spices, herbs, and sweeteners are the secrets to making all foods delicious.

These three food miracle workers can be relatively inexpensive if you know where to look.

In most food stores (and in select supermarkets in growing numbers) is a wonderful invention called a BULK section.

I'm sure everyone knows what this is, but if not I will explain:

It is a section of a store that has all sorts of different flours, beans, cereals, spices, herbs, and more.

Each of which are in separate containers or large plastic buckets with a spoon, which lets you buy much or as little as you want of what ever spices or other foods they carry.

The shop offers handbags and seals, for your convenience.

Spices are an excellent example of how cheap it can be to shop in bulk. Most small jars of spices or herbs like basil, oregano, thyme, etc. .. cost anywhere from two dollars a bottle to four ninety nine (which is technically five dollars a bottle).

In a bulk section you can buy these same spices, getting twice (or more) for less than a dollar or a little more.

Talk about savings! Herbs and spices of all kinds are much bought cheaper this way than paying the extravagant prices you are charged for a bottle of prior packaging of the same spices.

From flour and cooking and other cooking needs are also much cheaper if bought in a bulk section

Note: the purchase in a bulk section does not mean you have to buy a lot of everything! You can buy only one cup of flour in a bulk section if you or a spoonful of spices or herbs.

Ideally should shop around as different stores in your area have bulk sections, and compare prices to ensure you are getting the cheapest price.

Bring a calculator to the store and be prepared to do a little brain work to find out.

Another trick is saving money to substitute ground turkey for ground beef in recipes. Here you might prefer the taste of beef but in terms of saving money certainly taste heavenly to your budget.

You can spice soft tortillas, scrambled eggs, soups, meat pies and more with the right spices and herbs.

This is a recipe for deliciously spicy eggs, not dent your wallet:

For the scrambled eggs try using thyme 1 / 4 teaspoons pepper and 1 / 2 teaspoon salt and oregano, and 3 eggs. Mix the eggs, spices and herbs in a bowl.

Heat a skillet over medium heat until very hot, then add oil (preferably olive oil coconut oil) to the skillet. Wait a few seconds until the oil starts to smoke, then pour the eggs on his plate in the pan.

Have a fork in hand, ready to mix with the eggs, because they will start cooking immediately. Scramble the eggs for 30 seconds to a minute. Then use a spatula to pick out on a plate.

Do yourself a favor and follow these tips to start saving money today.

Description

This 6 Qt enamel Dutch oven is great for cooking, marinating, refrigeration and freezing. The color porcelain enamel on cast iron can be used on gas, electric, ceramic and induction cooktops, as well as in the oven. Not recommended for use on outdoor grills or over open outdoor flames. Not for use in microwaves. Lodge Color Porcelain Enamel on Cast Iron cookware is cast from molten iron in individual sand molds. The porcelain surface eliminates the need to season cast iron. The cast iron vessel has superior heat distribution and retention, evenly heating bottom sidewalls and even the lid. Tightly fitting lid seals in moisture. The excellent heat retention reduces the amount of energy needed for cooking. Two layers of very hard, glossy porcelain enamel are chip resistant and easy to clean. Lid knob is oven safe to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. The black rim on the pot is matte porcelain, not exposed cast iron. Hygienic porcelain enamel is non-reactive with food. Although dishwasher safe, hand washing with warm soapy water is recommended to preserve the cookware's original appearance. 10 3/4" diameter, 4 1/2" deep. Island Spice

Lodge Color is one of the newest lines from this respected American cast iron cookware company. Traditionally shaped and more affordable than some European brands, Lodge Color enameled cast iron is just as durable, requires no seasoning, and attractively serves at the table. Lodge infuses this 6-quart Dutch oven with two coats of hard-as-nails porcelain enamel, in a choice of several bright colors that are gradated (dark to light) on the exterior, and which are nicely set off by a cream interior. Embellished with concentric circles and a black knob, the lid, which also fits the Lodge Color 11-inch skillet, is oven-safe to 400 degrees F, so you can start a stew or casserole on the stovetop and finish by baking it in the oven. The 6-quart Dutch oven measures 10-3/4 inches in diameter and 5 inches deep. Lodge enameled cast iron makes a smart choice due to its versatility-you can marinate raw meats in it, since it won't absorb odors or flavors, and you can braise, sauté, simmer, and bake in it. Made in China to Lodge's meticulous specifications, each cookware item is first clad in matte black enamel before the color is added. The black rim that shows on the oven is actually the scratch-resistant matte enamel, not the raw cast iron. Though the Dutch oven is dishwasher-safe, washing by hand is recommended to best preserve the glossy finish. Look also for the pricier Lodge Enamel series, with its unique L-shaped lid knob, in a different set of colors and sizes to suit any kitchen. All Lodge enameled ware is covered by a lifetime warranty against defects. --Ann Bieri
