"This carrot apple zucchini bread looks really moist and full of flavor as well as healthy. Is this bread more of a cake style? Is it sweet more than savory? Is it like a carrot cake? The colours going through this cake are extremely pretty as well, it makes it really tasty looking."
Catsitt
"I have made this shakshuka before and I have to say it is a tasty as it reads. I had bread with it as well to help mop up the tomato sauce, I also over did the eggs and they werent runny which I regretted but overall I highly recommend this dish to anyone for a brunch or light lunch."
Catsitt
"I think this ham, cheese and pretzel roll would be the perfect lunch time snack. I was thinking the pretzel dough would be off putting doing this but I love that it looks really easy too. I love nothing more than melted gooey cheese and the saltiness of ham together. Could chicken be used instead?"
Catsitt
"I love fried eggs I would have them with everything and anything, my mam is the same so I would say I got this habit off of her. I have never heard of Spanish fried eggs before but they look really good I will definitely be loading up on olive oil and bacon fat!"
Catsitt
"I love making my own rolls for soups and casseroles and I think these Japanese milk bread rolls would be perfect for them as well. I will have to trial them at the weekend and see if the other half likes them as well. They look really good though, I cant wait to try them."

Cinnamon as a savory seasoning? Hmm. I'll have to try that! I've definitely tried the basics, but some of these are tempting!

I haven't spiced meats with cinnamon and think I will give it a try on some poultry. I like Old Bay seasoning on fish and poultry. I like chili pepper in my ground beef.

I love this guide! I like that the seasonings are sorted by type of meat, so I can see at a glance what I need for any given dish.
