Herb

Good Morning!

Herb is the new prompt word over at 
this morning - Picked for us by Kirsty

I have a few growing in the garden... This is the last of the Chives


I love onion and garlic so Chives fit perfectly into my lifestyle ... The flowers have died off and even they look pretty



On my windowsill I always have fresh basil


Another herb I use a lot ... It's wonderful in pasta and really compliments any tomato dish


Mint grows wild in the garden and there are a few varieties so I'm not sure which one this is but I put it with new potatoes
One other herb I love and use frequently is Rosemary


This grows in a tub in my garden ... Recently I came across a bread recipe on Pinterest 
 Rosemary and Garlic Bread (Here


It turned out exactly like the photo and tasted wonderful ... I made it a few times and tried bread flour which worked perfectly - It's wonderful with cheese toasted on top too
For my UK friends - I don't have a "skillet" but I do have a heavy casserole dish that resembles a skillet and it worked perfectly... Give it a go
And do hop on over to Our Beautiful World Blog to see what my friends are sharing ... I hope you'll share with us too.

Have a beautiful day

Hope you are still having your sunshine..August so far has been the perfect weather here in Michigan...we are traveling to the "north" house on Thursday as my daughter and her family are coming for a few days..so looking forward to it...but I will miss my internet for sure..lol!!

Wonderful post Ros, I love basils too, but don't have it at home, maybe I should look out for it at the nursery the next time as hardly ever grow things successfully from seeds except scallion. That garlic bread looks good, I don;t have any cast iron pot or skillet that can be used in the oven, maybe I should add it to my christmas list, LOL!

I can always count on you for yummy finds, Ros, I love your herb photo's. Mine are outside and the photo's would not be so great as they are a little wind weathered. But my oregano is going on thee years as are my chives, mint,rosemary, and thyme. Love the smell of my Basil...will check out the bread recipe! Thanks for the link and have a wonderful Monday!

Fab photos Ros. Just like you we always have fresh basil in the kitchen. And nothing beats the taste of home baked bread. Marel is the one to bake bread here. I am more specialised in cakes and pies :)
