Wisdom Wednesday


Tip:
It's summer time. July 4th festivities. Time for grilling veggies. I found a great recipe in The Costco Connection for vegetable seasoning—perfect for any cooked veggies whether roasting in the toaster oven or grilling on the BBQ.
Vegetable Seasoning
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried tarragon
1 tsp dried chives
1 tsp dried marjoram
1 tsp dried parsley
1/2 tsp dried rosemary
1/2 tsp dried thyme
Makes 2 Tbsp, enough to season 8 servings of vegetables. Make a larger batch and store it in a used, clean spice jar to have on hand for the next time.

It increases uric acid which leads to chronic, low-level inflammation—the foundation for most disease. For example, chronically inflamed blood vessels can lead to heart attacks and strokes.
