Thanksgiving is a time we all get together and celebrate family and friends over food. There is not a better partner for Thanksgiving than fresh herbs. More people consume fresh herbs on Thanksgiving than any other holiday all year round. The average household who may never use a fresh herb typically uses three or four varieties on this holiday. For us, here at Ger-Nis, we love that Thanksgiving precipitates this situation which leads us into this herb frenzy! Fresh herbs allow us to increase the flavor profile of dishes without adding salt or fat. These healthy leaves & twigs give us more flavor and depth to almost any dish. Fresh herbs pairings are getting more and more creative as the world gets smaller so we want to teach you a few secrets and flavors to make this Thanksgiving on to remember! This week’s featured recipes are bound to inspire your upcoming feasts with our tantalizing herbal ideas for this warm and fuzzy holiday where our friends and family come together in celebrating bounty. So go a little extra herb crazy this year with some of these simple and herb-tastic ideas. We have pulled some of our favorite herbal Thanksgiving recipes for you; everything from drinks to desserts!
