Equal parts rosemary, lemon thyme, Greek oregano ( all dried)
This is very versatile. The herbs are all from my garden- too much too use fresh so why not dry them!
So, what to do with this???
Top your focaccia bread with this blend before baking.
Sprinkle on roasted potatoes
Add some to your next scrambled eggs
Mix with softened butter and lather on fresh bread
Score a wheel of Brie and sprinkle ontop – add crushed garlic and drizzle with oil then bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees — yum!
2 fresh pheasants
2 oranges- 1 sliced, 1 halved
1 lime- quartered
1 yellow onion- quartered

Squeeze halved oranges over birds. Stuff birds with lime and halved oranges. Lay orange slices ontop of birds. Top with salt and pepper. Drizzle with oil and roast in a 350 degree oven for about an hour. Last 1/2 hour pour wine over birds. Thigh should read about 155-160 degrees. Remove from oven and let rest before slicing.
