Grow a pot, or a clump, of chives, basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, and a bunch of different hot peppers from jalapenos on up to really hot ones.
Those spices will make the stuff you do cook at home taste much better, especially being fresh. Some of them, like chives and thyme, will come back next year. Stick them on a pot, and pring them in over the winter. Also, grow a LOT of basil. It grows slowly, and you can use a lot of it.
