Growing herbs in my kitchen makes me happy.
There is something about seeing my favorite herbs in that window ready to be snipped and pulled into anything my little heart desires…. just look at them…
Basil….I made a whole grain pizza the other day, when it was out of the oven hot and bubbly, I drizzled it with some garlic oil (another awesome foodie gift I received) and tore a few pieces of fresh basil on top…. changed the whole pizza game….
Thyme… begging to be snipped into some summer veggies or soup….
I don’t even have to go outside … Rain or shine… there they are.
Rosemary… look at it… just waiting to adorn some grilled shrimp or chicken – bold enough to stand up perfectly to even the heaviest charcoal flavors….
Cilantro… either you love it or hate it… I happen to LOVE it… I put it into everything… from rice to ceviche to tomato salads…
And the Mint… it’s not just for tea… I snip it into a few of my cleansing cocktails, like simple lemon slices and mint in spring water (more on that soon), rub a bit of the mint on the rim of my glass and inhale the therapeutic aroma . . .
Yep…. herbs, as simple as they are… they make me happy.
Hmmm… What else makes me happy….?
Ahh… the simple things….
What simple things make you happy?
