Spice it up!

Wow. That's great! I had no idea that spices were so good for you. I just had oatmeal for lunch today and i put cinnamon on top of it. I always put cinnamon on top of it just cause it tastes so good but now i have an even better reason to load it on. . I really like fresh basil that i put on top of tomatoes in the summer time. I slice the tomatoes, put a little balsamic vinegar and olive oil, and then sprinkle the basil on top of every thing. It's taste so perfect!

I didn't realize that cinnamon had so many antioxidants, a lot less calories too I bet. I also use a lot of herbs and spices in my cooking but didn't know how good they are for me. My favorites are basil, rosemary, chili peppers, and fresh nutmeg. I think that I may have to go make some whole wheat cinnamon toast!

Does rosemary count as spice? We grow some rosemary in our garden and quite often it is used in our roast dishes. The aroma is very tantalizing when combined with roast beef or roast pork. I sometimes steam it with fish. The smell is also delightful. A more oriental choice is spring onion. I usually chop it fine and toss with salad, or boil it in soup with chili to make spicy soup. It is essential to make chinese-style stir fry. Another oriental star is anise. Food tastes very sharp with it. I think my favourite spice is vanilla. Yes, vanilla flavour ice cream. I am never bored of it! :)

Most of the spices contain antioxidants. My favourites are ginger, garlic, black pepper and cinnamon and all that I can lay my hands on. These are the things that keep you fit and healthy.

When i want to eat spice.I will add the chillis in my food.The chilli is the normal ingredients which many Thai houses like to have.In my Thai food will add chilli in a lot of food include The spicy pizza.

To make soup, my wife use white pepper, clove, nutmeg and cinnamon. Happy cooking..
