One of my goals for the new year 2013 is to spend more time in the kitchen. I am no good in cooking and there were only too few dishes I can prepare, but since I also aim to eat healthy this year, and instill that habit on my little man, too, and curb on eating fast food, it only means I have to prepare more home-cooked meals. Am a miserable cook and every time is just hit-and-miss! That is why I really think spices are such god-sends. They work wonders in spicing up my dishes and my life!

Late last year I started grabbing a spice bottle whenever I take a trip to the grocers, I am hoping to build up my spice collection this year, too! And even when I had to figure out how to use most of them on my dishes, I’d still agree that they are the perfect addition to my diminutive kitchen.

Oh well, I guess I have to read more about spices and where to use them as soon as I am done reading this article on how to order cigars online. 😉

Which spices are your favorite and why?
