Rosemary

Rosemary....!

Here at my house, my once small 
planting of rosemary is now a shrub!

I cut back armloads of rosemary every
 few months because it grows so fast.

I have about a pound of it chopped and 
frozen in ice cubes to use in soups and stews.

My next adventure I want to try?
Making homemade rosemary soap.

Here is the next thing I am going to craft...


Don't you just love this rosemary wreath?
Can't you just smell it?


Look at these simple bouquets attached 
to chairs at this wedding.  


Look at this beautiful tablesetting with 
a sprig of rosemary tied around 
the napkin with jute string.

And it would work even better if you 
were serving this...




Rosemary Fried Chicken

or this...


Rosemary-Strawberry Sangria

(be still my heart!)

 - and let's not forget dessert...


Rosemary-Lemonade Popsicles.

Uh-huh!

THAT got your attention, didn't it?  :)


Do you love rosemary as much as I do?

How have you used rosemary in 
your own home?

I'd love to hear your ideas.

And if you have not already registered to
win my Pier1 Pillow Giveaway, you have
one more day to do so.


Look for another exciting giveaway for participants in the
Souther Bloggers Conference.


xxoo,

  2. I do love rosemary. I like to place a sprig on each chicken breast that is covered in olive oil and salt and pepper and bake. Smells so good cooking.

  5. Yes my rosemary plant is now like a bush. I haven't clipped it yet.
    Love the idea of a wreath. Or in soaps.

  7. My husband is a fabulous cook and loves to use rosemary in most all of his dishes. We have purchased rosemary "trees" when they are offered in our local grocery stores, around Christmas usually (I think) anyway, we can never keep them alive. It is such a great aroma and a nice looking plant as well.
