Now that summer is here, there are herb gardens everywhere and the delicious fragrances of herbs filling the air! This year I planted a few different herbs; basil, cilantro, parsley, and rosemary, and I am always looking for creative ways to use them. I definitely think basil has been the easiest to come up with uses for, but some of the others like rosemary aren’t so easy. Therefore I decided to put together a list of more than 30 recipes that call for fresh herbs and that can be made easily with the herbs right from your garden! I just love having a garden in the backyard, and being able to pull certain things from it when I need them…it’s the best! So here are more than 30 recipes for you to use up those herbs this summer!
