Herbs de Provence

suni French Country Cookin'
One of my favorite seasonings to use is a french herb blend called Herbs de Provence.  I just love the way it makes my home smell when I cook with it.   A lot of companies make it with various blends of herbs.  You can even make your own if you like.  I tried a lot of different kinds before I found "The One."  So today I thought I would share my favorite brand and a few recipes that use this wonderful ingredient ............

Herbs de Provence is a blend of thyme, rosemary, summer savory, marjoram and lavender.  It is used in soups, breads and for seasoning meats.  But it can be hard to find and a bit pricey.  I buy mine by the pound from 


Mountain Rose Herbs. A herbs, health and harmony c
I saved over $36 by buying 1 lb. verses  .62 ounce.
  And It's organic with all the ingredients of traditional herbs de Provence.  Like lavender which is not in the name brand product.  Now I know what your thinking what am I going to do with a pound of this stuff.  Share it...put it in a cute container and add a creative label and you have a great gift.  

Here are just a few recipes that you can use
