    Man, back in my body building says I used to love Soy Sauce. Rice and Chicken just was not the same without it.

    I might have to try that. I air pop but it is hard to flavor, I have used the store bought seasoning for popcorn but you have to use loads of it and it just sinks to bottom of bowel anyway. Does that stuff stick?

    I'm a fanatic when it comes to herbs and spices! I guess I would have to say that cumin is the one I reach for most often. I also love Mexican cooking.
    But really, it all depends on what you're cooking.

    Fresh fresh basil. I'm talking from my garden levels of fresh. I'm talking, be right back, I am stepping outside and coming back with basil levels of fresh. Everything is better with basil.

    I thought of another one. Sweet leaf drops! I sweeten everything with them lately. Coffee, oatmeal, cereal, etc. They come in many different flavors. It's a natural zero calorie sweetener!

    Just discovered Trader Joe's 21 salute seasoning. No salt and awesome in everything. I love using it with cucumber, tomatoes, a splash of vinegar and olive oil. Just toss the seasoning all over and yum!

    Totally agree!! I put it on meat and cooked veggies - yummy!!!

    There is a chipotle olive oil sold locally, it is very potent. I am working to keep my fat intake at what it should be so it gets added (in 1 tsp quantities) to all sorts of food.

    Totally!

    I don't grow it currently so for the me the best I can do is ethnic market 2 blocks away where they're ripping apart sprigs and putting them in bags and I buy a bag every week. Deliciousness.
