    Here are a few ways to add herbs to your eating plan:
    • Olive oil: Increase the flavor of olive oil by simmering gently with rosemary, garlic or chilies for 15 minutes.
    • Meat: Add flavor by pressing an herb rub on meat, poultry or fish before cooking. Try this combination: chopped parsley, garlic, pepper, salt and mustard. Another option is to stuff fresh herbs -- sage, tarragon, savory -- between poultry skin and poultry meat and inside the cavity before roasting.
    • Greens: Add chopped fresh herbs to a salad.
    • Breads: Mix chives, garlic, rosemary or other herbs into dough or batter.
    • Fruit: Sweeten your fruit by adding mint, lavender or rosemary to fruit salads, cobblers and smoothies.
    • Water: Flavor your water with mint or lemongrass.
