New Year Happiness

I wanted to actually have a direction for this blog and I thought of one: spices. Spice is the variety of life. Spices can delightfully bring life to a bland dish. Case in point: turkey burgers. you can just consume them basically from the packet via a microwave and have a fairly lean 3-4 ounces of protein. Add a little pepper (red or black), some oregano, basil, and maybe a little rosemary - et voila - a tasty, more interesting dining experience. You can travel the world in a spice cabinet. It is so exciting to see what similarities are in each country's or region's use of spices in dishes. I will try to research some things and make this interesting and educational - maybe add some pics. But now I need to make some dinner: new leftovers - yea! But that is another topic.
