Cooking can mean a lot of different things to different people. For some it is simply an act of survival. Preparing the sustenance the body needs. For others it is a form of creative expression. Letting them channel their creative dreams into the food. For some it can even be therapeutic.
No matter what cooking means to you, everyone can agree that eating the same recipes over and over again can get a bit boring. It is well worth changing up your old recipes. Injecting some new life and new flavor into them. Spicing up your recipes doesn’t have to be difficult or complicated. Here are 3 ways of changing up your old recipes.
Substitute Ingredients
One of the simplest ways to change up a recipe is to look at what ingredients could potentially be substituted for something else. It is amazing how something as small as changing one ingredient can create an entirely new flavor profile within a dish.
If you are cooking a meat based dish you might consider using a meat alternative such as quorn or even tofu. Consider using new vegetables, perhaps some you’ve never tried before. Maybe consider using butter instead of oil in your frying pans.
Add In CBD
CBD has become increasingly popular lately. It is a wonderful natural painkiller and mood booster derived from the hemp plant. It is most well known for its close association with THC. But CBD doesn’t get you high like THC does. It also has a number of health benefits such as boosting your mood, relaxing your muscles, and it is also a minor painkiller. Making it a great option for spicing up your recipes.
CBD oil is the easiest way of integrating it into your recipe. CBD oil has a unique taste, almost nutty in nature. But a lot of companies are adding flavoring extracts to their CBD oil mixtures to give you greater variety with your dishes. It is easier than ever before to find cbd oil online and in highstreets as more countries are legalizing it by the day.
