Can you smell that fresh basil? hmmmm....
Lately, I've really been into getting fresh herbs at the farmer's market because it's cheap and it's fresh. I'm all about seasoning foods with natural green power, and fresh herbs are just so darn delicious! When I have a house one day, I'd like to have an herb garden in the backyard.
To jazz up my arugula salads which I eat almost everyday while I blog, I've been chiffonading some fresh basil and tossing it in with the arugula and wow, it's really fabulous to get a burst of basil. The combination of the arugula and basil is also some pretty potent greenness.
Ever since I started the sugar wean at the beginning of the year, my body has been craving greens more and more. In fact, I now often eat kale and arugula for breakfast. Yeah, sounds weird but really it's a fantastic way to start the day. I can feel my cells doing a happy dance.
