Tuesday, July 14, 2009 at 03:52PM I know I have some crafty readers, so I had to share the excitement happening over at my sister's blog. My sister Katie is a craftsperson and gardener and she's hosting a giveaway on her blog, celebrating the release of her newest pattern for these super sweet Small Dolls! Visit her blog for more info- but be sure to get there before the contest ends on July 19th!
Tuesday, June 9, 2009 at 08:40PM This summer I want to really get the most from my herb garden, so I found a few uses for herbs beyond the standard pesto recipe.
Lavendar Lemonade- my lavendar is back this year and looking better than ever! This sweet treat gets an exotic hint of flavor with lavendar.
Rosemary Skewers Mm...Can you imagine how good rosemary skewered grilled potatoes would be? I'm sure if you parboiled them they would thread more easily on the rosemary stem.
Herb Salt So simple to make! I think this would make a lovely housewarming gift as well.
Oregano Olive Oil- brilliant! My oregano is a bit out of control so I think I'll flavor some olive oil from the stems I need to cut back.
Basil Ice Cream- Ok, truthfully I'll probably never get around to making this one. But it does look awfully refreshing.
