Herbs

Fresh herbs are great!! They are long lasting if you can grow them 😉 If you can not grow them, you can dry them or freeze them when buying too many. Of course, they are no longer fresh when dried 😉 My point is that fresh herbs do not need to go to waste if not used immediately.

When buying sage, rosemary and thyme, – I use what I need (and let them stay “fresh” in the fridge for as long as possible …about a week). If I can not use them all, I tie them into small bouquets and hang them up in the kitchen for drying using them as dried spices.

Parsley, dill and chives you can freeze for later use in soups, dips, stews and other dishes.
