As a mom of boys I am always on the lookout for healthy, kid approved dinner ideas. I recently started my own herb garden. Because of my garden I have been trying to find all sorts of ways to include my herbs in our lives. I have been able to use them in body products like bath bombs and lotions. I have also used herbs in recipes and learned how to make a easy chicken bake recipe with rosemary and thyme.
Benefits of Fresh Herbs
Herbs are powerful and can have many health benefits. Some of my favorite herbs and spices include cinnamon, rosemary, thyme, and Fenugreek. They each have powerful health benefits.
- Cinnamon: May aid in blood sugar control
- Rosemary: May aid with allergy relief and nasal congestion
- Thyme: Making a Thyme tea aids with chest congestion, cough, and mucus
- Fenugreek: May aid in blood sugar control
Rosemary and Thyme Chicken Bake
One thing that I have been able to include fresh herbs in is a super easy chicken bake recipe. It is packed full of deliciousness and includes rosemary and thyme.
