| Trying to lose the last ten of my baby weight and therefore increasing my veggie intake. I am just steaming them and sprinkling salt but is there a spice that I can use to jazz it up more? Thanks. |

| I just use garlic salt. Adds just enough flavor to where I don't need anything else. |

| There's a fabulous spice shop in Falls Church (online too) called Penzey's. I use a lot of their spices and herbs in all my cooking, and they have some great blends for veggie seasoning. In particular, I like Sunny Spain, Bonnes Herbes, Bouquet Garni, Shallot Pepper. All are salt-free (so I can control the amt) and have several different herbs in them- lots of thyme, tarragon, pepper, lemon zest, garlic and sometimes rosemary or basil. I like all of those on my veggies, so getting a blend to quickly shake over the pan saves me time. |

| Lemon pepper. Just note there are different blends, and some are too sweet IMO. Try a few out. |

FYI - Penzy's is all over the place. It's a great spice company.
I just use garlic powder and kosher salt. |

Cheese! Oh, darn, you said spice.
Actually, a little butter with some salt will give a big punch of taste for relatively few calories. I'm a believer in the idea that you eat less if the food actually tastes really good. |

Tony Cacheres on everything. One or two shakes make it salty, a few more make it nice and spicy
I use it in sautéed spinach, green beans, asparagus, broccoli, squash, zucchini |

| I love lemon and a touch of butter. Works with pretty much any vegetable. Dill is also excellent. |

| Trader Joe's makes some good spice grinders. The lemon pepper, everyday seasoning and new garlic salt ones are very good. I use them for vegetables a lot. |

Za'atar!! You can get it in Whole Foods, I think, and probably other shops.
