Grow your own herbs.

Few things in life are simpler than growing herbs. These plants don’t need much maintenance and can thrive with a small amount of light. Fresh herbs add flavor to vegetables and meats. Toss some basil, chervil, chives or mint into your next salad. Marinate chicken and steak with thyme, rosemary, oregano or marjoram before grilling, baking or sautéing. Bake or grill fish with fresh dill, chervil or parsley. Fresh herbs help boost flavor in just about everything and turn up the volume on savory dishes when you’re replacing fats and sodium.
