Herbs Are Pretty

Share

There’s just something about fresh herbs that makes my little cooking heart go pitter-patter.

Unfortunately I don’t use them as often as I should or as often as I’d like, but when I do it feels like I’m creating a true culinary masterpiece.  Even if it’s just ranch dressing.

I think my favorites by far are basil, parsley, and thyme.  But I wouldn’t kick dill or chives out of bed either if you know what I mean.  They’re all good, they all lend crazy fresh flavor to things, and they all taste magical.

So what about you?  What’s your favorite herb(s)?  And do you cook with them a lot?

 

Happy Saturday y’all!

    I simply cannot live without tarragon.

    Ugh! That’s like picking your favorite kid… or how I imagine it feels to pick your favorite offspring 😉 I love all fresh herbs. I think cilantro and basil are the the top two on my list. I think I buy a bunch of cilantro every other week. I’m working on a window sill herb gardern and cilantro didn’t even cross my mind because I use so much of it the plant would be dead in a week (maybe less). I also love basil. You can’t beat the fresh taste!

    I’m with everyone else on this – basil is my top pick! But, I also love thyme, cilantro, chives, and parsley. I don’t really like dill or taragon – or maybe I just haven’t used those two in the right recipe?

    Mmm love fresh herbs. Cilantro and rosemary top my list. But I really like the addition of any fresh herb. I’ve been using fresh tarragon lately…first time to grow this year and loving it.

    I couldn’t live without fresh basil, cilantro, thyme, mint, sage, chives and both parsleys. I keep all the pots in the sun outside my kitchen door and I’m a happy cook.

    Basil! A thousand times, basil! 🙂 Stevia, mint, and chives are also on the list but basil takes the cake!

    Definitely basil – it lives very happily on my windowsill! I love the smell of it, so summery.

    I like to shred it up and mix with tomatoes, balsamic vinegar and olive oil. It’s also great stirred into hot pasta.

    BASIL! I love to put them in flower arrangements too!

    I actually use fresh herbs a lot–I never used to though because they would wilt before I used them all. Then my girlfriend bought me an herb savor from prepara. It’s amazing. I’ve had parsley for about 3 weeks now and it still looks as fresh as the day I brought it home.

    Oh and Oprah said it’s one of her favorite things. No biggie 🙂

    Basil. I have a serious basil problem. IE: I have more than 10 basil plants right now… and it doesn’t feel like enough!

    Second on my list? Chives.

    Fresh cilantro would go into everything I eat if I thought it tasted good. I love the sharp bite.

    I would have to say basil and mint. Mint is so good in so many summer drinks too! Great pictures!

    I love herbs of all kinds. Can’t pick a favorite. And I have to say, if you can grow them, it is so, so worth it. They taste better and are WAY less expensive.

    Basil and rosemary. The smell of both is so evocative of particular seasons for me (summer & winter). But honestly, I haven’t met a fresh herb I don’t like 😉
