Using herbs is a healthy low fat way to give
foods a great taste without using fattening sauces. If you're not sure what to use or how
to experiment, start with lemon pepper, Cajun seasoning, salt free seasoning blends or
seasoning salt. Then gradually add spices and herbs to your cooking as you discover which
flavorings you prefer.
