Started eating healthy again. Noticed things taste rather bland lately. What are some helpful tips some of you can give to make things taste better? Thanks.

    Lots of seasoning and fresh herbs. I use garlic in everything! Find the flavors you like and keep a good supply on hand. I like to buy the Mrs. Dash blends.

    Use herbs and spices---makes all the difference. Think of the difference between tomatoes and gazpacho--the first one nice (if you like fresh tomatoes) the other is gastronomic delight in a bowl and about the same calories. Also, get the best herbs and spices you can buy--they aren't very expensive per use and the higher quality the spice, the better outcome in the dish. :smile:

    Good replies so far, depends on your taste. Personally - I use a lot of hot sauce, pepper, garlic, yellow mustard and various herbs & spices.

    Fresh lemon and lime juice...yummy on veges (lemon on broccoli with dash salt n pepper), put them on protein too. I use chutney, pickles as well sometime. Olive pate. Usual salad dressings although when limes are cheap I prefer them.
