Herbal spices don’t just belong in fancy recipes—they can (and should!) be a part of your everyday cooking. Whether you grow your own or grab them from your favorite farm store (wink😉), here are five simple, flavorful ways to infuse herbal goodness into your meals:
1. Morning Eggs with a Twist
Sprinkle dried basil and chives into scrambled eggs or omelets for a fresh, gardeny flavor. Bonus: a pinch of thyme pairs perfectly with goat cheese.
2. Compound Butter or Olive Oil
Soften butter or pour olive oil into a small dish and stir in dried rosemary, parsley, and a touch of garlic powder. Let it sit for an hour and enjoy it on bread, roasted potatoes, or grilled veggies.
3. Homemade Seasoning Blends
Mix your own all-purpose blend with oregano, thyme, sage, and black pepper. Use it for chicken, beans, soups, or even popcorn!
4. Salad Dressings that Pack a Punch
Whisk dill, tarragon, and crushed mint into your vinaigrette. Herbal dressings feel light and refreshing—perfect for summer produce.
5. Soups & Stews
Add bay leaf, marjoram, and savory to slow-cooked meals. These herbs build deep flavor without the need for store-bought broth.
