Easy cooking improvements

One easy way to make your food taste better is to use better spices. Our pick for spice brands is Penzeys Spices. Their quality is superb, and you can really taste the difference, especially in their mixes. They offer spices in large bags and mail-order, so you can easily stock up on often-used spices and herbs. Additionally, they give some suggestions for use of each spice or mix on the container label. An easy recipe is to just sprinkle some Italian Herb Mix or Lemon Pepper on chicken, bake with a little olive oil, and then squeeze a lemon (real or pre-juiced) over it before serving. Paired with a canned vegetable, this makes a tasty and quick meal.

Pnnzey's are good spices. I keep a bunch on hand supplemented by homegrown dried herbs.

I do the same, except my herbs usually are dried because I didn't water them.
