24 insanely flavorful ways to revitalize your regular recipes
Bored by your own cooking? Here's how to wake up your tastebuds.

Are you tired of eating plain old chicken or steamed veggies? (Who could blame you?!) While there's nothing wrong with simply seasoned foods every once in a while, salt and pepper can only take your tastebuds so far. After all, meals are meant to be delicious.
To get a taste of some new flavors, start with roasted veggies, scrambled eggs, a grilled chicken breast, or a simple fillet of fish, then add one of the accoutrements below. You'll jazz up your go-to dishes without reinventing the wheel—a dip, drizzle, or spoonful can go a long way!
More of a salad person? Try thinning out one of the sauces below with a bit of water or broth for a flavorful dressing.
Alternatively, try scooping one of the dips onto baked chips or into a baby bell pepper half. Or put one of the fruity options to work at breakfast: They add fabulous flavor to yogurt, pancakes, French toast, and more.
