I use a lot of herbs, always have, Tonight I made jasmine rice with chives and bacon . one part rice, 2 parts water, a tablespoon of chives per cup of rice, and bacon bits to taste. Tomorrow, I'll add a little cheese to it. I'll do beans or lentils in the crockpot to have with it. The next night, some jarred salsa will go in.
I know people who use only onions and garlic to season anything they cook, and it all tastes the same. What were you cooking?
