Spoiled.

Life's good when you can walk out your back door and grab a handful of fresh herbs to freshen up your dinner. (That's flat-leaf parsley, oregano and basil, grown by moi.)

Lately, I've been making light pasta dishes for dinner. I'm slightly obsessed with variations on this pasta: whole wheat spaghetti or linguine, with white wine, fresh tomatoes, red pepper flakes, a couple of handfuls of herbs, cracked black pepper and a bit of parmesan cheese or olive oil. It's so light, so delicious, so easy. Add the hot pasta to a pot with the wine, tomatoes and peppers. Cook for about a minute, then toss with the herbs.

Oh, so yummy!

Meet my babies...

Children? ABSOLUTELY NOT! Nope, my babies are little green monsters, packed full of flavor and life...
I'm so proud of them, my little herbs. They are the first plants I've ever raised. They were toddlers when I got them. I haven't yet braved growing anything from seeds.

I know, I know. I'm like those annoying parents with their endless parade of photos about their beloved little angels. This is the first time I haven't killed plants. Humor me !
