Herb!

No, not the gas station on the way to Montreal but herbs like the green stuff.

Here is a song by my other favorite Ricky. Ruby by the Kaiser Chiefs:

Instead of reaching for the salt check if a herb might spice up your dish. Here are a few ideas that I found on teh internet:

THYME:

If you're in a pinch for fresh thyme, use the ground variety. Just 1 teaspoon contains more than 20 percent of your daily iron needs.

Try this: Thyme is the ultimate utility player, pairing well with roasted meat and vegetables, tomato sauce, and scrambled eggs

 

ROSEMARY:

Japanese researchers say carnosic acid, found in rosemary, may help protect against Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases.

Try this: Mix minced rosemary, garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil to use as a marinade for meat or vegetables

 

CILANTRO:

Studies suggest that coriander seeds (the fruit of the cilantro plant) could lead to treatments for diabetes and promote cardiovascular health.

Try this: Chop up tomatoes, an onion, and a jalapeno, and mix with a heap of cilantro for a versatile fresh salsa.

TARRAGON:

Research suggests that tarragon extract may help in treating diabetes by improving insulin sensitivity, and possibly kill ulcer-causing bacteria. Try this: Grill up an assortment of vegetables—onions, peppers, squash, asparagus—and sprinkle them with fresh goat cheese, tarragon, lemon juice, and olive oil.

 

SAGE:

Like rosemary, sage was thought to strengthen memory. The rosmarinic acid in this plant may promote liver health by protecting cells from oxidative damage.

Try this: For a quick pasta sauce, melt a pat of butter in a pan until it turns light brown, then add a handful of whole sage leaves. Toss with cheese or pumpkin ravioli.

 

OREGANO:

Gram for gram, it has twice the cancer-fighting antioxidant activity of blueberries.

Try this: Add equal parts fresh parsley and oregano to a blender and slowly drizzle in olive oil or canola oil as it spins. Strain and use the infused oil to top grilled fish or chicken or as a dip for toasted bread.
