Sometimes we get complacent or a little too comfortable in the kitchen because for most of us we are only having vegetables, salad, and protein for supper – we feel bored. Shake up your spices, sauces, and vegetables. There are so many to choose from. Have fun and be creative. Here is a list of spices, sauces, and vegetables to try! Remember with sauces to only use 1 or 2 tbsp.
Remember when using oils or nut butters to use only at the appropriate times throughout the day.
