Dill

Like lots of other herbs, dill is easily maintained in a garden and you can wind up with a ton on your hands. Dill is said to help with digestion, insomnia, and strangely enough, hiccups. It is a relaxant and a diuretic, which can help release toxins through the urine more frequently.

What to do with dill?

For starters, here's an easy snack: a piece of toast, bagel, or crackers topped with cream cheese, dill, and cucumber slices. This is a fresh, tasty, energizing snack for people of all ages, at any time of the day!

You can throw dill in a yummy vegetable dip. Mix together mayo and sour cream, then add in lots of chopped green onions, fresh parsley and dill, and fresh minced garlic. Add a little celery salt for more flavor!

Dill makes a wonderful accent to fish, eggs, and potatoes (not unlike chives...). Garnish your smoked salmon with a little sour cream and dill, put dill in your potato salad, egg salad or tuna salad, and sprinkle on top of a baked potato or an omelette! So many options.....

When you're pickling cucumbers, green beans, asparagus, etc, you can toss in some dill for extra flavor.

Quit dill-y-dallying and go eat some dill!!  :)
