It’s with great pleasure that I host another edition of Weekend Herb Blogging. # 347 takes us deep into the seventh year now which I believe it may make it one of the longest running blog events. Today, I present you with a delicious array of sweets and savory. My grocery list has been written and all these recipes I hope to recreate in the next few weeks. Thanks to Haalo for managing this event begun by Kalyn and thanks to all who submitted recipes and photos for #347.Fragoliva will be hosting #348, both the English and the Italian version.
