Going Greenhouse

Whether in a poor economic situation or rich, herbs are dang expensive. Unfortunately, they are as important in good cooking as gasoline in an automobile. However, our good Swedish friends at IKEA designed a greenhouse that fits perfectly on our windowsill.

Katie and I have loaded up our house with some Basil, Cilantro, Oregano, Parsley, and Rosemary. After one week we had little sprouts in the Basil and Oregano, and are hoping the harvest will be great. We hope that we can save a little green on the greens sometime by late spring.

If anyone has greenhouse (or faux greenhouse) tips, send them our way!!!

Chicken Noodle Soup

There is a big cold front on its way from the Northeast to Provo. Katie decided to plan accordingly by making a big pot of Chicken Noodle Soup. I was surprised by how easy it is to make a good chicken noodle soup. The only thing that came out of a can is the chicken broth. Add a few vegetables, some noodles, chicken, and spices and you have a delicious bowl of warmth.
