In the meantime, check out Denver Plants' guide to using herbs in the kitchen. Herbs are a healthy and simple way to add flavor to your cooking without adding fat. I like this guide because it pairs each herb with vegetables it complements.

Herbs make a great addition to soups, too! Speaking of soup, the Kitchn recently explained seven ways to make any soup creamier. I've used the pureeing trick, but I never thought of adding ground-up nuts to thicken a soup. Neat tips!

Finally, on a note on vanity, check out Millersville University student Breann Martinez's culminating project on vegetarianism and eating local. I worked closely with Breann in the fall, helping her gather information about the vegetarian lifestyle (specifically pescovegetarian diets) and the benefits of buying and eating local. Some of the information is incomplete, but it's still a good overview for beginners.
