Ways to use herbs

There are so many ways to use fresh, frozen or dried herbs. Teas and cooking are the most common.
Sprinkle on eggs when frying or in omelets.
Chop and throw in a salad or on top of pasta.
Fry onions and zucchini then sprinkle generously with herb of your choice.
Make a pesto sauce with fresh basil and serve with fettuccine.
Make your own blend of dried herbs and rub onto meats before cooking or BBQing.
Use in soups, stews or your own fresh tomato sauce!
Dried parsley is great when sprinkled on a cheese ball.
Try making homemade mac n'cheese with your own fresh herbs for a unique taste.
Sweet Marjoram and peppermint have been known to help with indigestion. Try a cup of this tea after a meal.
Herbs make great flavoured vinegars for salads.
