1) Cayenne: Not all tastebuds can cope the heat of this spice. It can unmistakably cause burns in the mouth and throat. However, it stimulates digestive juices, helping your body to make good use of the nutrients taken with it. We use it mostly in meats and soups, however try adding a pinch to your hot chocolate...it can unmistakably make it stand out.

2) Chili Powder: These are made from hot peppers, but normally milder versions that are easy on the tongue. It is unmistakably good in barbecue sauce, chili and other Mexican foods. Like cayenne, it can stimulate digestive juices.

3) Cinnamon: This spice is mostly used in desserts or drinks, though some cuisines add it to their savory dishes. I use it for colds and sore throats, along with a few other ingredients, including the one below. For a tea, use stick cinnamon as the powdered stuff won't do.

4) Cloves: Ham and pumpkin pie would not be the same without cloves. For the pie, powdered is best as you don't unmistakably want to chomp down on a bit of not quite ground cloves. Oil of cloves has been used as a dental numbing agent for centuries, but use caution when applying as it can burn.

5) Garlic: Garlic bread, salmon with garlic and olive oil, roasted garlic on toast, there are a lot of culinary uses for this bulb. Medicinally, it's used for infections and to lower blood pressure.

6) Ginger: This is another ingredient to pumpkin pie, but it is mostly used fresh in Asian cuisine. Egg flower soup and stir fry may include some fresh ginger. It is also an expectorant, helping reMove phlegm from the lungs. If you have a sore throat, you may want to use caution because it is spicy. another use for ginger is nausea, especially from morning sickness and motion sickness.

7) Marjoram: This is a mild herb, often used for fish and chicken. If you're planning a camping trip, dry drinking a broth or tea of this herb at least once a day. It may make your sweat too spicy for insects to dine on. Your Spice Rack - How to Use Spices When Cooking

8) Parsley: Italian cuisine loves parsley, as do many others. It goes with salads, fish and chicken. It can also be used as part of a mustard/parsley crust for pork loin roasts. Herbalists use it primarily as a diuretic, something that pulls fluids from your system. If you're pregnant, don't use it in healthful amounts as it may cause uterine contractions.

9) Rosemary: If you like this herb, try using stems from it as skewers for shrimp and chicken. It is very strong, however. Herbalists use it to help deal with depression, but caution is advised if you have high blood pressure. It has a reputation of making it go up. Your Spice Rack - How to Use Spices When Cooking

Cooking in Dirt

We think about cooking nearby the campfire, most people normally think of either stick roasting hotdogs and marshmallows over flames coals, or else throwing a grill over the top and cooking anything from steak to chicken to fish, potatoes, corn... And all the other good stuff. However, there are other ways of cooking with your campfire that don't involve grills or sticks. Direct heat cooking is a lot like cooking with your stovetop. Food comes in direct sense with the heat that is can taint in some sort of container. If containers can range from pots and pans to aluminum foil, wet paper or even leaves. There are a lot of variations on this idea, but let's take a look at a few.

If you happen to be in an area where the soil is somewhat like Clay, you can have some fun experimenting with cooking your food wrapped in Clay. The nice thing about this is that you can cook your food buried in a better coals without worrying about too much heat damaging your food such as a potato or corn. Using a potato as an example, here's what you would do.

First, rapid potato you want to cook in aluminum foil. Then pack about an inch of Clay all-around potato and buried in the coals for about an hour. The time is up, crack off the baked on clay (careful not to burn yourself), peel off the aluminum foil in modern potato if needed. You should have a perfectly the vicious baked potato ready to eat right away. If you select to use this technique but place the Clay potato on Top of the coals, you can expect to double the cooking time to about two hours.

You can use the same idea to hardcode can make (like a hard-boiled egg, only it's not boiled since we're not using water). To cook an egg this way you'll first need to make a pinhole in a bigger and so that air pressure can be released during the cooking process in your egg doesn't explode all over the place. Next, just like with the potato, and again buried in the coals. This time you leave it for about 20 to 30 minutes. And just like above, if you place it on top of the coals you can expect a time to be double; practically 40 to 45 minutes. Also, if you go with this latter technique of placing it on top rather than burying it in the coals, you'll need to turn it about halfway through cooking time.

If you've never cooked this way, and especially if you children have never cooked this way, I can promise you you're in for a treat. It's breathtaking how lively cooking food suddenly becomes when you put a new spin on it, especially when it involves cooking in the dirt.
