HERB PRINT

Making all that pesto inspired me to pull all my recent herb illustrations into one print. You can find out more about this print in my Etsy Shop.  I also have a digital version available here.

Italian Herbs

A couple of weeks ago I received a wonderful package of herbs from Gourmet Garden. I had the great opportunity to meet them at Camp Blogaway.  What makes their herbs special...is that they are available year-round, yet still maintain their freshness.  Each herb is gently tucked into a squeezable tube then stored under refrigeration.

The Gourmet Garden website also has an amazing recipe index.  I tried the couscous salad with chili pepper and ginger chicken (using their ginger and chili pepper samples) and it was superb (and extra healthy). At camp we simply added our own mix of spices to yogurt for a nice vegetable dip.

I want to thank Mary Humann and Gourmet Garden for the wonderful collection of herbs they sent including:

Basil
Chili pepper
Cilantro
Chunky Garlic
Dill
Garlic
Ginger
Italian Herbs (mix)
Lemon Grass
Oregano
Parsley

Fire Cider

I just created this fun print with a special recipe for someone.  As she states..."fire cider is a symbol of all the real 'magic' that exists in the world, and of my role as someone who is allowed to use some of that power to help people".  It's considered a "for-real" magic potion.  That's all I know, but feel lucky to have created this image for her.  Good luck to Maia as she shares her special gifts.

Okay, this is probably the second herb I learned as a kid.

How many times did I ask my mom if we could eat that pretty green leaf on my plate when sitting at a restaurant?
