Herbs spices/8 recipes

A moist, lightly spiced snack cake. I have made this using butter or shortening, and both work fine. The butter method is a bit richer in flavor, though.

This is the best lassagna I have ever tried, basil-pesto definitely gave the whole lasagna tons of tasty flavor, also used low-fat milk and cheese, reduced the amount of fat, but the sauce was still creamy, asparagus was tender-crispy between the layered creamy stuffed noodles.

Something about bacon goes so well with spinach. Using a hot bacon dressing wilts the spinach just the perfect amount, not rubbery and not too mushy and packed with flavor.

The soup was delicious and easy to make. Ideal for cold winter days.

Rich and dense sauce that's perfect for shrimp, scallops or salmon.

This version of the garlicky roasted eggplant dip does not have tahini in it as with a traditional version. While I really like an "authentic" baba ghanoush, I also enjoy the commercial Sabra brand, which uses mayo and some spices. It is slightly sweet and has a little kick. This is my rendition.

Try this new twist to chicken wings that has a variety of spices that will satisfy your hunger.

A new kind of salad that has a scrumptious taste which is perfect for lunch or a light dinner.

These delicious rolls are made from phyllo pastry, and they are so elegant and pretty to be gifts too.

These muffins are lightly spiced with cinnamon to bring out a delicate blueberry flavor!

This is always a hit! I tweaked it by using 1/2 c oil and 3/4 c orange juice and it turned out great. We made these into muffins and put them in gift bags for our out-of-town guests at our wedding and they all loved them. For muffins, we baked at 350 for 25 minutes and it made about 22 muffins per batch.

A selection of root vegetables and herbs gives these veggie burgers excellent flavor and bits of hazelnuts and oats helps provide good texture.

These roasted sweet potatoes go perfectly with the smoky and mildly spiced tangy lime sour cream. Definitely inspires you to cook sweet potatoes more often!

This savory tart definitely impressed me. The puff pastry was so buttery and crispy after baking, which went deliciously well with creamy goat cheese, lemon zest and fresh rosemary leaves. All the flavors were just perfectly balanced, YUM!
