Basil is one of the most popular culinary herbs. Sweet basil is used in salads, sandwiches and soups. Try a simple summer salad made with sliced tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, basil and olive oil, or add basil to tomato soup for a light meal.
Mint is a very versatile herb and can be used in both sweet and savory dishes. It is often used in fruit and vegetable salads. You can also try adding mint to ice cream, tea, peas, carrots or meats.
Rosemary is one of the most aromatic herbs you can find. It has a very distinct lemon-pine flavor and pairs well with many foods. Try rosemary with summer vegetables such as zucchini and squash, as an addition to tomato sauce or pizza, and in marinades for chicken and beef.
Cilantro is an herb that is typically used in Mexican, Latin America, Asian and Indian cuisines. It is best served fresh by adding to a dish just before serving. It makes a great addition to your favorite salsa. It also works very well with other dishes such as summer salads, fruit salads and sweet potatoes.

Hello my friend,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the post. It was very good and the photos were professional quality, even if you didn't put the pots back. ( A witch on a turbo broom told me).
I liked your last quote very much...("The world we are experiencing today is the result of our collective consciousness, and if we want a new world, each of us must start taking responsibility for helping create it." ) That should become the motto of all our environmental groups and efforts.
Hugs and kisses

PS: I really miss my butterfly
Hello to you my friend ,
ReplyDeleteYou are most welcome for the post , in this time of weirdness we need to think good thoughts , do we not .
My lady , that dang girl has every herb or spice you can think off , she has labels on them so you will know them apart , they cook with them and some she use for medicine , a couple she use for a laxative that is not harsh on the stomach . In the winter some come in as house plants and the rest go in the hot house until next spring . They are good for keeping insects out .
That quote is the motto we sure to open the meeting with . Man went up front Friday and said it
when he finished he said 'Now There' , that boy is so much like his mama well his daddy too.
My lady , the witch is a hell on wheels about everything in its place , my grands is the only ones that can get away with it , but they do have to pick up after themselves . The Butterfly will make her appearance often . Gil bought me a new camera and showed me how to use it , thanks for noticing .
Hugs and kisses
