\"Sage<\/a><\/p>\n

Sage is a\u00a0favorite healthy herb of mine with which to cook during the chillier months. \u00a0I think it adds a warmth and a peppery sweetness\u00a0to foods and it pairs beautifully with fall-friendly winter squash. \u00a0It’s also lovely as a\u00a0lightly fried garnish on, well, anything really.<\/p>\n

As it turns out, sage is also an herbal health powerhouse, high in antioxidants and full of anti-inflammatory properties, it has been used for years as an health aid. Read on\u00a0for more ways to infuse your life with a little more of this delicious, healthy herb.<\/p>\n

How to up your daily healthy herb intake with delicious sage:<\/h2>\n

1. Start your day with a little sage-infused homemade body scrub<\/strong> (don’t sweat this one: just throw together 2 parts sugar of choice, 1 part neutral oil of choice, and some chopped or torn fresh sage or crumbled dried sage). \u00a0Sage will work especially well on winter-worn skin, helping to rejuvenate and promote cell growth.<\/p>\n

2. Get your bouncy hair on<\/strong> with some sage essential oil<\/a>.<\/p>\n

3. Use this healthy herb to combat cold-weather threats<\/strong>, especially the sore throat. \u00a0Gargle a little or drink a nice sage tea<\/a> to soothe and to attack oncoming congestion.<\/p>\n

4. I like a breakfast saute<\/strong> of apples, kale, a little sausage and sage: saute one onion sliced in half moons, two diced, tart apples, as much kale as you can handle, just a touch of pork breakfast sausage or uncured bacon (I cook the meat separately and add toward the end ) and lots of torn fresh sage in oil of choice. \u00a0Salt and pepper to taste. \u00a0Easy-peasy-sagey-love.<\/p>\n

5. DIP<\/a><\/strong>, because why wouldn’t you?<\/p>\n

6. Is it 5 o’clock<\/a>? \u00a0Have a sage-centric cocktail.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Enjoy this healthy herb\u00a0in your favorite dishes and for all-over wellness. Sage also has a bit of legendary past<\/a> as well, allowing for a\u00a0little mystery and requisite\u00a0bad-boy (herb?) appeal.<\/p>\n
