About Alabama Expressions

Welcome to Alabama Expressions!

After retiring from thirty-two years as a teacher, then principal, in Alabama schools, I yearned to spend time with my love for plants, herbs, and spending time outside planting, caring for and watching life grow, then harvesting the great tastes and nutrition that can enhance "breaking bread" with family and friends.

Once an educator, always an educator, I truly love teaching others anything that may enhance their enjoyment of life. So, planning parties, classes, and events around what I know and love about herbs and plants, had to be my next chapter.

After spending a few seasons researching, growing, harvesting, and learning how to improve, I could not wait to share it all with others.

My husband, Jim, is an avid "grill master". He absolutely loves to cook on the grill and has been experimenting with different herbs in his sauces, meat rubs, and oils. We have found some delicious combinations that we end up using time and time again.

I am in charge of breakfast, cooked completely inside the house. I do not know my way around a grill but have learned to make eggs absolutely delicious with no salt, cheese, or butter. Of course, you can still add those, but just adding a few herbs to these breakfast staples yields amazing taste.

Together we have researched, experimented with, and sampled a multitude of ways to use herbs.

I hope your life becomes more enriched now that you have found Alabama Expressions with Herbs.
