The closest I've come to having rice/meat/veggies not taste like rice/meat/veggies is drowning it in Worcestershire (?) sauce and soy sauce etc. and even that didn't make much of a difference. :P 

 

So you guys are saying dry/ground spices are better when it comes to seasoning? I'll give it a shot.

Hm ok. Also do you add onions to everything? Because one time I had an omelet without onions and then I had one with onions and the difference in taste was ridiculous.

Some spices I really like include curry powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic, and ginger. Might want to make sure your kitchen is well-ventilated if you're cooking with a lot of spices, though. The smell can get pretty overpowering.

 

Curry powder is a spice that can work with rice, meat, and veggies alike. Look for recipes!

Pesto is universal, as is hummus, or habaneros like Shockwave said. Maybe just for me, that first one :P Anything, really, that has flavor and is condiment-y. I go through long periods of time sticking to one before moving on to something new. I'm in a Tabasco hot sauce phase, I've actually got my bottle next to me right now. I had some Tabasco chocolate yesterday, which is apparently an actual product they make, and it wasn't bad, so I guess I can say it goes with anything. "Can I put this on chocolate" is usually where you have to draw the line :P

Cool, thanks for the advice! Just a quick question- on average, how many cloves of garlic do you use? I can never get the flavour to stick, yanno?

Cook with butter, sweat your veggies, utilize natural flavors of your ingredients, garlic is amazing, the sweetness of a sweet potato can be brought out with a pinch of salt, peanutbutter and coconut milk make for a nice curry base but be sure to add brown sugar, use butter, searing meat can be super delicious if done properly, cook grains like couscous with chicken or beef broth, cook with butter, cheeses can be fantabulously amazing.

 

Without specifics, that's the best I can give you.

One or two cloves per person is a good start.

Ok I tried some suggestions from here, mainly paprika (and salt) coz that's what I had on hand. Though I may have accidentally added in a little more than I would have liked. The food most definitely was not bland. :P Oh well, I guess I'll keep experimenting with amounts and different spices. I'll definitely check out the curry powder and stuff. :)
