The Vancouver Sun just did a great article on how much cheaper it is to grow your own herbs instead of buying them from the grocery store. Growing your own herbs is the best way to go, but if you are like me and live in an apartment with no outside space for gardening, this is tricky.

It has always bothered me that when you buy a bunch of parsley you get far more than you will be able to use before it goes bad in the fridge. Recently my mom shared with me a trick she learned from her foodie friend, who has taken cooking courses in Italy. There is a very simple and aesthetically pleasing way to keep your parsley alive longer. Take a bunch of parsley and give the stems a fresh cut, then place into a vase of water, and voila! You now have a beautiful green bouquet of fresh herbs.
