Herbs!!!!
This is the time of year where spring has sprung, everyone is working their gardens, and where grocery stores have fresh herbs for sale. Just take a moment to think of how lovely that is....
Since I've started to cooking, I think fresh herbs are one of the best thing since sliced bread! Seriously. They have so much flavor in such a small package. And if you are calorie conscience....they have barely any! Every time I smell and/or eat fresh herbs it's always rejuvenating. I think herbs will baffle me for a while. Think about it. They are like a vegetable yet I love the taste and flavor of them. Recently I actually enjoyed a salad because it had cilantro in it..... surprisingly Yummmmmyyyyy!
I'm not an expert in herbs but I'm pretty positive I'll be growing them for the rest of my life. So I'll be an expert one day. Plus sometimes you can't find fresh herbs in the grocery store and it will save money over time. Some tips I do have is: if you can, grow them outside, research which ones like the sun and which ones can grow in shade, and buy some fresh soil-- My herbs are inside since cats roam the streets where I live. In order to keep pests off safely all you have to do is put water and one dot of dish soap and spray your herbs.
I recommend you start your own garden! These herbs are available everywhere right now-- home depot, whole foods, even tom thumb/randalls/safeway. Have fun!
