Using herbs in your cooking as a fragrance and flavor element creates a meal that is memorable. Historically if you were invited to partake of the bounty of food you would be considered a friend and important to the family with the invitation for the event.
Herbs have many properties in there leaves, flowers, bark and roots for medicinal and culinary enjoyment. If you are familiar with the plant properties wild or garden harvest would be used for the meal leaving 50% of the plant in the ground for further generations. Plants will flower and reseed your garden automatically so you will always have future herbs in your yard for many meals to come.
Another benefit for our meals is to consider that spices applied to meat in a dry rub or seasoned before cooking has an antibacterial action and can ward off pathogenic microorganisms and keep us healthy (Billing & Sherman, 1998).
Herbs stored indoors for the winter should be upgraded every 4 to 6 months therefore your dishes will taste their best when you serve them to your friends and family.
Planting seeds for outdoor landscaping and floral bouquets and culinary meals can be started indoors on a windowsill or a table by the light shining in from outside so when the weather is ready for planting in your area you will be ready for a aromatic backyard experience.

Fresh Ideas for a happy heart and a good quality of life.
Veggies in the pot with water and soup bones from your market can produce a warm broth that is comforting and rewarding. The bones and the vegetables should be put in a crockpot and cooked on low for 24 hours. We enjoy the flavor of carrots, celery, salt, pepper and bay leaves with garlic and fresh thyme. To create a rich stock we use 2 pounds of bones.
A vegetarian option for broth can be made with carrots, celery, garlic, salt, pepper, parsley & kale. The options are many for broth using fresh produce would be best for flavor and nutrients.

It is vital to take good care of yourself and the benefit of a restful sleep will do wonders for you and your immune function for your defense and health. The amino acid (glycine) found in bone broth may provide you with restful sleep.
We enjoy the the symphony of the outdoor sounds that are relaxing and enjoyable in the yard. The trees around the garden contain birds who eat the seeds on the ground. Butterflies are so colorful as we relax in the morning sunshine.
What a joy to celebrate life as bees tend to the flowers to make honey for us to enjoy. We are grateful for raw honey as we use it to cover a wound for the antiseptic value.
If a friend or family member feels a scratchy throat we use cayenne and honey to remove the pain.
The idea of enjoying the outdoor attributes at dinner table are common. Wildflower honey infused with sage is very enjoyable on the biscuits that come from the oven around 5 pm.
What can done to preserve our friends that suffer from unnatural means to destroy them. We can plant flowers that are safe and create an environment where they can thrive and be safe.
Butterfly bushes, echinacea and wildflowers are just a few if we plant a small area we can help to create beauty and enjoyment for all around knowing we have made a difference with the land we have. A flower pot on a patio or a box of marigolds you see can do a lot for our beloved bees.
Plants can have a positive factor that benefits us. The spices in your kitchen add flavor and support for your health and immune system. Sage tea is good for a sore throat and thyme can be used to clean a wound. If you are in a bind and need an herbal solution it is nice to have fresh spices growing. Fresh spices are also very nice in flower bouquets.
Cardamom is a beautiful plant and the pods are ground to give a very unique flavor when used in moderation. This plant is useful for UTI’s, depression and a fatty liver. It is always best to consult a physician to get their approval before adding a new product in your diet. This plant is very unique in appearance and in culinary meals.
The cardamom pods are ground up to give us that unique flavor. The power of a plant can change your life. We hope you can enjoy your life to the full measure you are intended to have.
The next time you would like a special treat try adding a dash of cardamom to your french toast batter and serve with fresh maple syrup. Cardamom pairs well with vanilla so this fresh idea may brighten your cuisine.
When it comes to spices a little goes a long way so enjoy all the variety we have and treat yourself.
The greenhouse effect can be helpful when we upcycle our lettuce containers for an indoor climate.
This is nice because the side tabs open and close easily without disturbing the root development and causing stress.
Micros 5 days old
The greenhouse keeps the seeds moist so watering isn’t necessary after the planting of seeds. It will save water and the peatmoss medium does not adhere to the stem for rotting stem syndrome from excessive moisture.
Each harvest is ready at 10-14 days for you to enjoy superfood nutrition. The white side shoots of the root systems will display hair like villi at 3-5 days.
Start your second box every 4 days for a continous supply. We recommend purple radish sprouts, brocolli and salad mix.
If all this is a lot of work you can buy micro kits that are pre – planted and all you need is water.
However you choose to get greens, mini greens or vegetable juice make good choices for your health. It is a consideration for healthy cell development and immune function that will make your future bright.

For on the go lifestyle we like to use non alcoholic tinctures that can be tucked away in your pocket and when you feel a negative emotion or nerve fray say something you are thankful for and put a few drops in your mouth. You can add stevia or a non glycemic sweetener also to your mix. We hope this makes a difference for you.

Understanding that heat and oxidization will contribute to the destruction of vitamin C we recommend the berry juice, or dehydrated berries at northwestwildfoods.com. They have frozen berries or dried berries for your healthy approach.

Elderberry syrup can be made at home to eat a spoonful a day. It is important to remember that raw elderberries should not be eaten. Dried berries or fresh berries can be used for syrup. The stems and seed should not be consumed because they contain cyanic which is not recommended, but cooking will render the agent harmless.
The suggestions here are exciting so we decided to try this and decide for ourselves. We used an herbal tincture and started with a few drops in water to make sure we did not have a negative reaction as this is common when trying new products. We used Dr. Christopher’s elderberry tincture although there are many options on the market. The recommendation we found was to take 1/2 tsp 3 times a day. We used used a 1/4 of a tsp more frequently not to exceed the daily recommendation.
The results from our test came back positive this little berry made a noticeable difference and we will be making a combination of elderberry and echinacea the next time a germ tries to cause us discomfort.
Keep in mind this is a medicinal product and should be respected so do not take more than recommended and if auto immune history is present please as always contact your physician before trying any new product.
If you are interested in purchasing any product mentioned in this article you may send us a line at freshisbest12@gmail.com and we will send it right out.
We are eager to have animals as they entertain and depend on us for comfort, shelter and nutrition.
As the sun sets the birds search green material such as lettuce grass and plant material. Having the free range chickens patrol for bugs during the day it eluminates the need for commercial pest control. The financial kickback is good and the environment and water tables are healthy once again.
During the day rhey seek bugs and seeds with mineral infusion as they fertilize the orchards and compost the leaves from fall.
The idea animals can teach is not apparent at first glance, but the idea of high mineral foods before the evening activities promotes rest and proper ph balance for the night.
Eating the colors of a rainbow is a balance that all should see on the plate. Fruits vegetables and fiber on our plate gives us anti cancer compounds, fiber for digestive health and vitamin C to boost the immune function so we can feel relaxed at the end of the day.
Shopping today for produce we found lettuce with roots attached; the life in the plant had a noticeable difference than cut leaf counterparts.
The container was a plastic greenhouse made of recyclable components so we harvested the outer leaves for a company dinner and took the core with the roots and planted it in the soil.
The results are suprising after 2 weeks of transplant adjustments we now have a healthy lettuce plant for another meal. This vegetable recycling option is a fresh idea for large producing plants instead of starting from seed which can take 60 days.
Enjoy your day staying peaceful each step of the way.
Strong nails strong bones is there a correlation? Can we see what is happening inside our body by the physical signs we see?
Green tea is made with greens from the garden that are juiced or processed in the blender and added to hibiscus tea and red clover tea.
The body will easily convert magnesium into calcium that usable for strong bones and nails. The results can be found by taking calcium supplements for a month and check the strength and condition of your nails. Take green juice from kale and parsley everyday for a month and then recheck your nail growth. This will tell you which is better.
Here’s a picture of kale growing in the garden we add three leaves of this to our juicer and combine the green liquid with hibiscus and red clover tea which is sweetened with Stevia or sweetener of your choice. The tea is made using 1 teaspoon of dry plant material to 1 cup of water so in this recipe you would add a half a teaspoon of each herb for every cup of water.
Enjoy good health and feel relaxed with proper pH due from the alkalinity of the greenery and enjoy beautiful skin and strong bones.
Making good use of a metal paper storage unit that is often carried in professional vans for invoices and documents. The top snaps closed for keeping items organized in the dual layer stack system. We covered it with a hot glue gun on the edges only so the fabric has a soft feel. We added lace on the edges and a wired edge bow on the paper clamp that holds papers. This is very functional as a desk organizer that a cat cannot damage.
Our office desk has cats that like to lounge on papers and be in the middle of our projects. We appreciate the furry friends and found this to be a solution from missing pens and wrinkled papers.
We are upcycling old objects to keep them out of the trash pile in a land fill so we covered the outside with a matching Paris design and pleated the edges with a glue gun style and trimmed the edges with the same lace. It is nice to recycle and see beauty around us at all times.
We hope you can find a treasure in your storage that needs a face lift. Come join the crafting secret to avoid stress by focusing on the something positive that makes you feel your best.

The boldness of white to catch the eye is very peaceful and beautiful in a bouquet for the table setting or the entrance to your home. One hundred petals join to create a sphere that celebrates the occasion for your event. A bouquet with red roses brings stunning to a new level. Hydrangea is a very affordable flower with 2 to 6 stems in a bouquet. The contrast of the green leaf is a perfect balance and other stems can be supported through the large sphere of petals shown here.
A low profile option is to use florist foam that is soaked in water and insert flowers in the base with pearl pins to stabilize the bouquet.
Red and white look nice for personal presentation or large gatherings. Christmas events could add pine needles in place of fern leaves in this bouquet. The color combination here is considered a professional approach and there is a savings for bulk flowers or wholesale with deliveries usually 2 days before the event.
The idea is to make whatever you are planning memorable without spending a lot of time planning so you can enjoy the get together along with everyone else.
Fresh Is Best so your presentation will shine with success.
Buckwheat is a unique crop for its floral component in a bouquet and also for a gluten free food when eating the kernel. This plant does help us by seeking out the negative components in our system that have a negative effect in regards to heart disease.
Rutin is another benefit for us all because it keeps the the blood from clumping together which is not what we need for heart health. Most intriguing is the benefit buckwheat has for patients that have been diagnosed with diabetes and lowering blood pressure.
As a result of reduced antioxidants the hair and skin should improve also.
Buckwheat can be sprouted and grown to eat fresh in a salad. The potential for maximum nutrition is available at the plants peak performance in nutrition at 10-14 days old. Any plant that has antioxidant value should be a consideration for the healing process of inflammation and disorder by using microgreen management
Immune function is the result of the nutrients available for health and wellness. We suggest some fresh red juice when available in your area.
If you have room in your yard plant a tree in which will supply enough juice for a family. People have told us they like to drink 2 ounces per day to keep colds and viruses away.
Some traditions require pomegranite jelly for fresh bread every Thanksgiving meal so however you choose boost your immune.
While we rest the nocturnal mission is at work spinning a web to catch her prey. She uses the wheel method to produce the best result which covers a large span of effectiveness. The time involved is approximately one hour and she uses the least amount of silk for this dynamic creation.
