In case you were wondering after my rant, here is a list of some of the spices I have discovered to spice up healthy food(you may notice them repeated often in my recipes:)
Cumin(ground, you can usually find it with the "cheap" spices) is fantastic in any chili or Mexican food. I pair it with chili powder for Mexican food, paprika for my potatoes.
Paprika(you can also usually find it with the "cheap" spices) is a spicier alternative to chili powder for certain recipes, not as hot as cayenne.
Curry powder(can be a bit more expensive, I would recommend watching for it on sale)
Cayenne pepper( pairs really well with curry powder, gives a big kick with just a little bit.)
Basil(goes great on chicken)
Parsley(I love it in soups)
I use many more, but these are my new favorites, spices are 0 points for weight watchers, by the way...
