I was thinking about starting an herb garden from seed this year, but that didn’t happen in time! So, I bought some herbs on Sunday and planted them in a pretty green planter by my kitchen window. 
Left to right: sweet basil, Greek oregano, and rosemary
They smell SO amazing! 
It makes me want to make a big batch of spaghetti sauce so I can use the basil and oregano! I also want to try making pesto.
What are your favorite ways to use fresh herbs?
Hmmm…my favorite ways to use herbs. That’s a toughy – Well, if I had to choose one, I love chopping up different combos really finely and mixing it into butter (sometimes w/ a little garlic) that you would then serve to spread on dinner rolls or bread. This tastes so gourmet, and really makes bread special!
Kristin,
That sounds wonderful! I saw this recipe here: http://comehaveapeace.blogspot.com/2010/04/tasty-tuesday-herb-butter-balls.html where you actually form the butter into pretty little balls before serving. So posh…yet easy! Thanks for sharing.
