PUT HERBS IN ICE CUBE TRAYS AS FOLLOWS
Fresh herbs – I use this one all the time. I LOVE the Springdell herb garden. You pick the herbs from the garden, chop them up and put them in the cubes. Add oil and freeze. Remove the cubes and put them in a ziplock. Don’t forget to label them with what herb they are. I also like to do herb combos that I know I use together a lot for pasta sauces etc.
Simple syrup – I make a simple syrup out of equal parts sugar and water. Heat until the sugar has dissolved. You can freeze as is and just pop a cube into a beverage or you can steep the simple syrup with herbs or flavors too. I love to use mint from Springdell and let that steep. I let it sit in there until the syrup is cool, strain out the mint, freeze and I have cubes to use in my iced tea. Delicious.

The tacos can contain whatever you’d like. Sarah went with a ground pork and beef base with grilled zucchini tomatoes and peppers on top. The herbs are also negotiable. Jess makes this salsa with a bit of onion, and omits the cilantro for her cilantro averse family. Make it your own, and be sure to freeze some for the winter!
Follow Springdellian Jennifer S. turned us on to this recipe, it’s a great way to use all kinds of greens! Just add breadcrumbs, garlic, onion and oil
I chose carrot tops and basil as my main greens in this pic, and they were great! They are even better the next day. I’ll be making these again for sure! The ebelskiver pan was a nice way to really round them while using very little oil, but it’s definitely not a necessity. Have fun making this recipe your own!
This is less of a recipe, and more of an idea. Stop by the pick-your-own herb garden today and begin experimenting with flavors!
