5 Dos and Don’ts for Planting Herbs

May 17, 2016 by Sydney Anderson

Hi friends! I’m so glad you stopped by!

Want to start an herb garden? Here are 5 Dos and Don'ts to help get you started!Don’t you just love the smell and taste of fresh herbs?!  Want to have fresh, healthy herbs at home without the expense of an extra grocery store run?  (And have you seen how much they charge for a tiny container of wilted herbs?!)

I’ve cooked with both store-bought and homegrown herbs, and I can tell you two things. One, homegrown always tastes better, and two, you can’t just plant a bunch of herbs in a pot and hope they thrive.

As our family grows, so does our food budget. I’m starting to find ways I can cut our grocery bill here and there so that by the time my kids are teenagers we won’t be stuck spending $1000 a month just on food!

Want to start an herb garden? Here are 5 Dos and Don'ts to help get you started!

One of the first things to know is not all herbs are created equal!  Some need more water, some like less sun, some have long roots and need space to grow. I’m going to share five lessons I’ve learned when it comes to growing your own herbs!

Garlic-Cilantro Aioli

July 8, 2014 by Becky

Aioli.  You’ve heard of it.  Maybe even seen it.  But what in the world is it?  Well, you’ve come to the right place for answers!  Aioli is a garlic-flavored mayonnaise typically served with fish, seafood and vegetables.  It’s a French word with Latin roots:  ai–>garlic (allium) and oli–>oil (oleum).  Garlic Oil.  Yup.  We’re making garlic oil today!  With a little cilantro thrown in for good measure.

Avocado Cilantro Lime Dressing

February 28, 2014 by Becky

If you love avocado, cilantro and lime as much as I do, this dressing is a must!  It’s creamy and fresh and adds just a little kick!  Thin it down a little to pour onto your salad, or leave it thick and spread it on your sandwich in place of mayo.  Either way it is highly addicting!
