I love your website. It’s kinda like mine! I love finding new bloggers with the same attitude and interests as I do

I love this herb idea! I’m definitely going to have to try it! I was wondering if I could feature it {and you of course} on my blog. Thanks for having such an amazing site!

The absolute easiest way I know to preserve herbs is this…

Take your fresh herbs and remove the leaves from the stems. That can be easily done by running your fingers down the stem; the leaves will just pop off!

Place the leaves loosely in a plastic bag. Freeze until solid. Once they are frozen, pack the leaves down in the bag. Rub the bag back and forth a few times in your hand, and the leaves are now chopped! (Don’t overdo it or you’ll thaw them, then refreezing will give you a huge mass that’s more work to break up.)

I also freeze grated lemon and orange peel the same way–by placing loosely in a plastic bag until frozen, then packing it down. Works great!

I have my lazy way for freezing fresh herbs! I just freeze them whole in a plastic container. When I need them I cut them frozen with my kitchen scissors directly in a pot. Works like a charm! .-= Yasmine´s last blog ..Is Blue Your Favorite Color? =-.

Thank you so much for the tip on freezing herbs! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve thrown away unused herbs because I wasn’t able to use them all. This is such a great money saving tip.
