Things virtually always great to add to a meal entree'


--Fresh ground pepper or red pepper flakes

--Fresh, ground black pepper

--Lemon, lime or orange--your favorite citrus juice--straight from the source

--Your favorite dry seasoning

--Olive oil

--Garlic

--Fresh grated parmesan (or other dry, white) cheese (definitely, absolutely not that nasty, nearly-powdered Kraft parmesan crap. Well, unless you especially like it)

--Nearly any fresh herbs or spices (dill, thyme, mint, marjoram, etc.)

--Your favorite wine--red, white, dry, sweet, whatever (I'd go with the dry, personally, but that's me and yes, I would stick more with red for red meats and white for pork, chicken and fish. But again, that's me)

--Fresh, grilled vegetables, especially if they are done with a bit of olive oil and, again, your favorite dry seasoning and/or spice

--Fresh tomatoes

--Fresh onions

--Bacon (lightly, usually), especially pepper bacon. Yow

--Salt, of course, but the better types really are better and absolutely worth a little higher price

Whatever you do, keep it simple. Keep it simple, put in your favorites, experiment, do what you like and you'll virtually never be disappointed. You'll find that, besides loving your food, you--and your guests--will have had fun and thoroughly enjoyed the food, too.
