Introduction

WHY HERBS AND SPICES

First, I love using herbs and spices for flavorings, this includes both dried and fresh herbs. All plants are beneficial to your health and highly effective at fighting disease.

While talking to people I meet I found many ask, How do you add herbs or spices to your dishes? Many of you may buy herbs, then end up throwing them away, before you use them.

After hearing this many times, I realized that maybe a few written ideas on blending these plant flavorings together would help others make more exciting dishes for their families.
