Herb Garden

A simple and not a big deal confession... 😉

I like to cook, but I don't love to cook.

I would rather present the food than cook the food.

I do love to use fresh herbs when I cook, though.  I love all the flavors that burst forth when I add different herbs.

I prefer doing meals that involve grilling a good piece of meat and adding fresh veggies. 

Or, putting a big pot of dried pinto beans on the stove to cook all day.  Throw a roast with potatoes in the crock pot, and I am good to go.

I decided a few years ago to try and grow my own little herb garden right outside of my kitchen and I have absolutely loved it.

It is so nice to be able to walk outside and clip rosemary, basil, parsley, or thyme.

I also love growing things like lemon balm, peppermint, lavender and chocolate mint.

One of my favorite things to do is keep a big pitcher of cold water filled with lemon balm and peppermint.  Add a few slices of cucumber and you have such a refreshing drink.

I may not love cooking, but I love making the food look appetizing, so that counts for something.

If you have any questions about herb gardening, let me know and I’ll see if I can answer.  If you have any great recipe ideas, feel free to share.

Make sure and follow me on #farmhousedreamsabk where I share lots of photos of our home, clothing ideas, and the occasional photo of my two favorite aussies.
