It is wonderful to have a well stocked kitchen pantry, full of vibrant, aromatic herbs and spices, but that can get expensive to continually restock every 6-12 months. First solution: generously use your herbs and spices when you are cooking while they are fresh and vibrant. Second solution: stock your favorite herbs and spices and then make substitutions when necessary. Keep in mind that substitutions don’t always work perfectly in every dish—or for every remedy. Get to know each herb’s flavor, pairings, and effects on your body to use them wisely and effectively.

Spring is such a fun time of the year with all of the rebirth and vibrant colors. And the weeds start growing again too! I get excited because my free supply of herbal remedies returns to my yard.
