Spice Up Your Cooking
Does your cooking seem a little on the bland side? Many of us have a least one spice rack from last Christmas, but how often do you really use it? Creating a well-seasoned dish does take a bit of practice, but you have to be willing to work on the basis of trial and error. Read on for a few tips that you can use when venturing into the world of herbs and spices.
First, we will start out with using herbs. Below you'll find a list of herbs that are commonly found in store-bought spice racks, as well as examples of dishes that they compliment well. This is just a guide, so don't be afraid to experiment with the different herbs in your cupboard. With herbs, you can easily go by scent. Open up a jar—does it smell like it would go well with the dish you have in mind?
Where Are You Going?
So how do you keep track of where you are? The best way I've found is to create a mental image of exactly the way I want to be and to work toward that. I keep that picture before my mind all the time and use it as a yardstick. There are several advantages to making such a mental picture.
First, it gives you a specific goal to work toward. There's a wonderful poster that reads, "If you don't know where you're going, you're likely to wind up somewhere else." Creating a mental image of what you want to be tells you exactly where you're going.
