These two beautiful plants are making my winter much more thrilling in the kitchen. Last night we had lasagna and it was fabulous just to clip a stem and add the fresh basil. I’ve used the rosemary several times over the holidays for my chicken recipes. At our local co-op I bought some delicious rosemary bread and we LOVED it! So I’m thinking I should be able to recreate that myself.
All our snow has disappeared which I hadn’t really thought about until Candace from Beth Fish Reads tweeted photos of the fresh powder they received in PA overnight. Here in Iowa we are snow-less and I am wishing for Spring. I want to be digging in the soil and planting some seeds. To be craving Spring so early is quite a downfall-it’s only mid-January and winter in the Midwest can be most brutal through February and March. Hopefully these two herb plants will help me through. I’ll have to pick a more modest goal to look forward to, like Valentine’s Day! Enjoy the snow or the sunshine where ever you are today!
