Dr. Wendy's Spice Usage Tips
Cinnamon

For lightly sweetened, cinnamon-spiced yogurt, mix 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon and 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey into 1 cup plain yogurt.

Cinnamon and apple is a natural flavor combination. A sliced apple tossed with 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon in a resealable plastic bag makes a great snack. Plus the cinnamon coating helps keep the apple slices from turning brown.

Cinnamon

Add a hint of ginger to hot or iced tea. Sweeten 1 cup tea with 3/4 teaspoon sugar mixed with 1/4 teaspoon Ground Ginger.

Drinks lots of hot liquids when you have a cold. Prepare this brew of 1 cup hot water, 2 wedges squeezed lemon, 1 teaspoon honey and 1/4 teaspoon Ground Ginger.

Cinnamon

Add a flavor boost to jarred tomato sauce. Stir 1 teaspoon Oregano Leaves into 2 cups low sodium jarred tomato sauce.

Forego the butter and sour cream on baked potato. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon of olive oil mixed with a sprinkle of Oregano Leaves.

Cinnamon

Ground Red Pepper’s heat is a nice addition to basic Italian dressing or even raspberry vinaigrette, where it balances the sweetness of the fruit flavor.

Cinnamon

A hearty vegetable omelet is an easy dish to make for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Sprinkle vegetables such as asparagus, spinach or tomatoes with crushed Rosemary Leaves. Use as a filling for omelet.

Cinnamon

Thyme brings out the flavor of mushrooms. Sauté 1 pound sliced mushrooms in 1 tablespoon olive oil. Sprinkle with 1/2 to 1 teaspoon Thyme Leaves.

Sprinkle Thyme Leaves on steamed or sautéed asparagus along with a twist of freshly Ground Black Pepper and a dash of Sea Salt.

Dress up your favorite vinaigrette with 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon Thyme Leaves. Try using raspberry or other berry-flavored vinegar instead of your usual vinegar.

Cinnamon

Mix 1/2 teaspoon Curry Powder into 8 ounces plain yogurt to use as great spread in a turkey and vegetable pita sandwich.
