And it can be so much healthier too! You get to control what goes, and doesn't go, into your food.

Agreed. We use home-grown veg, for example.
And you can add an excessive amounts of Chilli and spices in order to give it a kick 
Oh the joys of making food.

I guess growing up around my grandmother made it so where I'm kind of plain, as far as my food goes. I don't like a lot of different spices in my food; I like salt, black pepper, onion/garlic powder and crushed red pepper pretty much. One of the few times I use something different is when I fry potatoes in a pan, where I use a rosemary and garlic seasoning that my aunt has in the pantry, and damn, it tastes good on fried potatoes and chicken.

Some good points there. It's nice to throw in a few spices to mix things up a tad.

...man, I never thought I'd be talking about which spices to use on this site. How times have changed. Not that I mind, of course.
@Xen- Epic. I LOVED Iron Chef.

Haha, I never thought I'd be talking about cooking in general on here.
Like I said, those spices I listed (apart from the rosemary/garlic seasoning) are pretty much what my grandmother used when she cooked (she doesn't cook much anymore). I use onion and garlic powder because I like the taste it gives to food, but sometimes I dislike the texture the actual ingredients give (nothing worse than biting into a huge chunk of garlic).
