tip of the day

oregano

Oregano is the "pizza herb" of southern Italy that we're all familiar with.  But, you probably didn't know how good it is for you! Oregano is high in antioxidants and in {the overlooked} vitamin K.  It is also a great source for iron, magnesium, and fiber. It can even be used to cure stomach and respiratory ailments, and will make your sore throat feel better.  So don't be dainty! 

the recipe: 

cooked carrots

Now, I know there are no measurements for this recipe, and that's because the spices are "to taste" and the rest is determined by what's in my fridge or how many people I'm feeding.  

sliced carrots

diced onion

oregano 

salt and pepper

water

Fill the bottom of a large skillet with about 1/2 inch of water, and bring to a boil.  Add carrots, onion, oregano, and salt & pepper.  Cover and simmer until carrots are tender.
