I loved it. The recipe is very good. The blend of dried herbs is amazing. I cut the recipe down into 1 serving so that I could try it first and I used ground sage instead of dried sage leaves. I couldn't find any other dried mint besides the organic McCormick that was 5.98. 6.00 just for a container of dried mint! So, I took some fresh mint from the store and dried it using the microwave! Incredible! I really do love the recipe it's so good.
