What Can I Make with SAGE?
Sage is one of those spices in this house that goes stale before it’s even had a chance to season our foods. It smells heavenly, but … I just have no idea what to do with it.

Sage has traditionally been used to dry up breastmilk, so if you’re not nursing because you choose to bottlefeed, or if you lose a baby and need to dry up your milk quickly, or even if you have an overabundant supply, you can drink two or three cups of sage tea a day and reduce your supply.

Southern Cornbread Dressing
Make one cornbread and one batch of biscuits. Crumble them up in a bowl.
Finely chop an onion and 3-4 stalks of celery. Saute them in some butter until soft. Add to the cornbread mixture. Season with salt, pepper and plenty of sage.
Add enough chickenbroth to make a runny batter about the consistency of pancake batter.
Pour the mixture into a pan and cook at 400 for 45 minutes or until golden.

sage brown butter. Melt a stick of butter with sage leaves and let gently cook until butter is browned and nutty smelling. Carefull, it burns quickly. Then serve over pasta or rice. Especially delicious over butternut squash ravioli (available frozen in better supermarkets.).

Sage is delicious with porkloin and chicken. If you make a roast chicken, you can take the zest of a lemon, some chopped sage, a little salt, and a quarter stick of butter and mix them together until they make a paste. The use the mixture to spread over the skin of the chicken. The butter will make the skin nice and golden and crispy and the sage and lemon will infuse a really great flavor and aroma.
