I am trying to find & order herbs? Can you help me
Hi, Teri! Are you looking for dried herbs or fresh plants? Either way, the short answer is that, for starters, I would do a google search and find a well-rated company with reasonable shipping. For dried herbs, you could start with Amazon or Penzeys (depending on your price point). ~Shelley
These would make great Christmas gift ideas.
I totally agree! The type of homemade gifts that are so fulfilling to make … and so much fun for people to receive! Hope you have lots of fun trying them this holiday season! 😀 ~Shelley
Shelley and Gretchen: Thank you so much for including my basil salt recipe in your round-up! I am bookmarking this for later, and will share it on my social media accounts since all these seasonings look awesome! I’m especially interested in the DIY hot sauce since my boyfriend & I love them so much. 🙂
