One of the many beautiful things about summer is the availability of fresh herbs. They add a whole new dimension to any dish. They scream summer. This dish takes advantage of the plentiful parsley and dill during the summer season. Can you smell the fresh dill?

Growing fresh herbs has so many benefits. It is readily available when you need it. You can limit your waste by harvesting only the amount you need for the recipe.

If gardening is not a part of your life, no problem. Farmers markets are flowing with fresh herbs. Find a farmers market near you.

Vegetables

Yet another beautiful thing about summer is the availability of fresh vegetables. To maximize your nutrients, choose locally grown vegetables that are picked when ripe. And…the taste is drastically different.

Take the challenge. Grab tomatoes from the grocery store and from your garden or local farmers market. Compare the taste. Not even close in terms of flavor and texture. You can taste the difference of vegetables picked when ripened and traveling short distances to your plate. Guaranteed. And let me remind you, there are not many guarantees in life!!!

Time Savings

We all love home cooked meals.  Lack of time is often one of the hurdles to creating more meals at home.
