Fresh Herbs

Fresh herbs give dishes that extra kick to turn a good recipe into an amazing one.

Basil is my favorite herbs and I love buying it at the farmers market.  You can also grow your own to save money and have fresh herbs anytime!  Basil needs plenty of sunshine, about 6-8 hours each day.  Check out this website for tips on how to grow basil, chives, oregano, parsley, rosemary, sage and thyme.

Try or Trash: Detox Diets

Should you do a detox diet to "cleanse" your body?

The answer is NO.  That's why we have our kidneys, liver, large intestine (colon), lungs and lymphatic system.  Our bodies do a great job on their own!  There is insufficient evidence to support needing to use detox diets to release toxins stored in the body.

Lizard Says:  Trash detox diets and eat a healthy diet filled with a variety of fruits, veggies and whole grains.
