Guest guest Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 this sounds really good, what kind of spices were in this? i'm finding that a lot of dishes are kinda bland, (when i make them on my own, that is) so what would you use to spice this up? (i recently cooked a spinich cashew crepe thing and it sounded delicious, when i made it it was bland. thanks! Mail Use Photomail to share photos without annoying attachments.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Hi Sharon, I'm with you on the bland thing... although I should say that as I've been reducing my salt intake, I have noticed more subtle flavors... Getting rid of salt has been a real trip in itself. I really need to focus on my food to extract the flavor. It's like salt gives food taste but it takes the taste of food away - from my taste buds. I have discovered some spices and foods that give flavor that I have always liked but began to not use just because salt was more convenient. I love dill, garlic, onion, pepper, fines herbes, tarragon, rosemary, basil, cilantro, parsley, epazote... Anyway, just wanted to say how I can read a recipe and think YUMMM and then wonder where all the flavor went!

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Lucinda, what does epazote taste like? I had a recipe for tortilla soup I made, but couldn’t find epazote and didn’t know what to replace it with. The soup was bland without it, so for future reference it would be great to know what flavors might be compropable Heather On Behalf Of lucindabush March 14, 2006 1:23 PM Re: tofu spinich quinoa Hi Sharon, I'm with you on the bland thing... although I should say that as I've been reducing my salt intake, I have noticed more subtle flavors...

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Hi Lucinda, Glad to see you on this list too! I made a veggie/chicken soup last night it was great! Of course any strict veg's could delete the chicken. celery, onion, carrots, turnips, parsenips, parsley, dill salt & pepper and added ww noodles it was so good full of flavor.
