A Kitchen Witch can never have too many spices, herbs and recipes for all sorts of dishes! No matter what I am cooking I am aware of the properties from the herbs, oils and others items I use. Every dish I cook is blessed and thanked and of course has a little magical quality to it, not to mention an overall quality for health as well.
Previously I posted a blog titled A Witch's Magical Kitchen. In the post I named and described several common herbs that should be in your kitchen for food and magical use.
Here are a few of my favorite and simple Salad recipes, but please note I did mention the brand names for the items used. All ingredients are non GMO'd (genetically modified or engineered) and/or certified organic to maintain my current state of health becasue of severe sensitivities. All ingredients were either purchased at the Whole Foods Market or grown fresh from our organic garden. The next Witch's Kitchen blog will pertain to side dishes or main courses.
