From the garden to the kitchen

I picked some herbs from our garden this morning, and have just sprinkled them all over the roast that is in the oven. The smell in this house is incredible. I use herbs for almost everything I cook, can't help it. I think I'm a herbaholic.

If you are not using herbs regularly then your meals are missing that extra kick that encourages families to eat more meals at home. If your meals taste great then the chances of them asking for your flavor packed meal is higher than the requests for some greasy carb packed takeaway. There is nothing more rewarding than having your loved ones asking for more because the meal tasted so great. Sometimes it takes only a small amount of herbs to achieve this.

Since moving to this City we're experiencing the high costs of buying our own fresh herbs, this is what has kick started me into gardening mode; so I'm in the process of redoing our garden as this is a rental and I've had to leave my garden that I had developed over the past 10 years. So I will be posting updates on this process over the next couple of weeks.

What herbs could you not do without?
