Lets talk green

So lets talk green........................as in HERB.....................CULINARY HERBS LOL
I love fresh herbs all types, i grow them, well i try too, (sigh) i'm getting better though. I have to incorporate at least one type of fresh herb daily in every meal. My favorite herbs of all time are Rosemary and Basil..I also absolutely, appreciate the presence of rosemary,thyme and lemon in any given dish.For a super simple dish using my favorite combination of Rosemary, Thyme and lemon, would be a pasta chicken salad. Using chicken breast cooked and cubed seasoned with fresh cracked pepper and sea salt, Penne pasta and a Pesto but instead of the BASIL use ROSEMARY and THYME add some lemon zest and mix with pasta finish with a squeeze of lemon juice serve warm or cold and you have achieved absolute deliciousness. Plus it pretty low in calories which is always a plus. There are also herb butters that can be prepared from fresh herbs,herb oils, the possibilities are endless. Moral of the story is don't be intimated by fresh herbs, be bold and experimental in your cooking. I made a dessert using basil, a basil and lemon mousse to be exact, it sounds weird but it was delicious and the rosemary and thyme lemon mousse and cake were absolutely perfect. Now don't just limit yourself to dried herbs (the pantry favorite dried Italian                        
   seasoning) just because its easier and doesn't take much effort. Mix and match herbs, use dill, and mint  oregano, parsley, chives and lavender. Use them smell there fragrance and get inspired,Create art.What's the worst that can happen???..its food, enjoy it, embrace it. You have to eat after all, so it may as well be wonderful.
