Don’t Forget the Rosemary!

Who has every heard of how to incorporate Rosemary for flavor into a meal? Rosemary is a forgotten herb that tends to not get enough appreciation for its health benefiting properties! It is one of the herbs in an Italian seasoning, but it is time to sprinkle it on its own accord. Personally, it is one of my favorites. I always feel a little smarter after eating it!
