Do you have an herb garden?  There’s nothing more delightful than to walk into your yard and select fresh herbs for your evening meal.

As the fall approaches I will begin the process of making holiday gifts from the garden and I wanted to share a few recipes from Jim Long that I found at Herb Quarterly you might consider trying this season.

Garden Seasoning Blend

Use this mixture for soups, stews, roasts, chicken, and vegetarian dishes. Add about 2 tsp of the blend per small cooking pot during the last 15 minute of cooking.

1 cup parsley

1/4 cup basil

2 T marjoram

1 T dried onion flakes

1/4 t garlic granules

Mix ingredients together and store in a cool, dry place.

Classic Bread Mix

Add this flavor to the bread mix in your bread machine.  Add 3/4 T of the mixture per loaf for herb bread.

1 cup parsley

1/2 c onion flakes

1/2 c celery leaf flakes

2 t garlic powder

2 t marjoram

Blend together and store until ready to use.

Can’t you just smell that herb bread baking?  Yum.
