How to avoid boring healthy food.

Often folks complain that "healthy" food is boring food. There is no reason for low calorie, well-made food to be tasteless or boring. Most herbs, spices, and other flavorings add little or nothing to your calorie counts and a little goes a long way. A clove of garlic packs a lot of flavor into 4 calories.
I've put more on this topic in a blog post:

It has links as well to my personal blog at www.heidicookssupper.com. The title banner for the blog says, "Flexible Recipes for Imprecise Cooks – Frugal Food – Simple Methods – Handy Knowledge."
My retirement fun is sharing this information with folks. I also love answering cooking questions so fire away!
