Stock Up on Natural Pantry Staples - Dried Herbs

For those times when you can't get fresh herbs, keep dried thyme, sage, and oregano on hand to boost the flavor of nearly any dish. Lavender is also great for its stress-busting benefits (add some to marinara or stir dried lavender into sauces for lamb or chicken and sprinkle it into the cavity of a chicken before roasting). To maximize dried herbs' potential, don't skimp on price (always buy organic herbs to avoid pesticides in your herbs), and replace every four to six months.
