Until suddenly there is just too much of them... 🪴

Published 19 days ago • 3 min read

Hey Reader,

Have you ever walked past bundles of fresh herbs at the store or at farmers market and thought "How can I use them more?"

Yeah... I do the same, every summer.

Or maybe you are growing herbs on your own? Maybe just few pots on the window or a whole backyard jungle (I am getting close on that one). Either way, it always starts with good intentions... Until suddenly there is too much rosemary, the dill looks floppy, and you have no clue what to do with that thyme anymore.

So, here is ridiculously easy and so delicious fix:

Lets make Herb Butter. Yes, it is that simple. Grab whatever herbs you’ve got, chopped and toss them into butter, and you'll get a delicious flavour bomb that is ready to turn even just a regular meal into something special! You can use it on toast, roasted potatoes, grilled steak (you must try this one!), or just on a warm crusty bread.

It is the easiest way to stretch those fresh herbs before they give up on you. The other wonderful thing is that you can freeze any leftovers herb butter for later. So even if you’re not cooking much now, you will absolutely thank yourself later.

Easy Homemade Butter

I love using herbs the right way. One of my favourite ways to make the most of fresh herbs is by making a herb butter.

Not a basic beef patty, but a flavourful burger, with garlic, onion, and my secret spice mix that turns tasteless ground meat into magic. You can now skip the soggy drive-thru burger and make...

easy meals

Hey Reader, Can I be honest for a second here? There were many days I can remember when I served up a dinner of boxed mac & cheese… or just scrambled eggs. Yes, too many times to count. Just a simple 5 minutes meal that got the job done. Why? Because I was exhausted! Even boiling pasta felt like a huge mountain to claim. And if you’ve ever stood in front of your fridge after work, thinking “I can't do this tonight”, then you get it. Cooking every day is not always an easy thing. Add in work,...
