Description

These lamb chops were so yummy that they never made it to the table. As soon as the chops hit the serving plate, my son and I pounced on them like wild animals and stood at the counter by the stove gnawing them, ooh-ing and ah-ing our satisfaction and exclaiming between bites, “Can you believe how awesome this is?” Then we fished out the sprigs from the skillet and sucked them dry—they were both crispy and succulent! We often use fresh herbs for flavor but this is the first time we chewed the oregano and rosemary right off the sprigs, one after another, as if we were eating potato chips. Do you have a garden? There are so many ways to create and manage a small garden and its a wonderful project for kids, who are more likely to eat what they grow. If you have no room outside your dwelling and no patience for a traditional garden, consider a self-contained, self-operating garden like click ‘n grow. Easy peasy.
