I love parsley…but I will admit that I often find it difficult to use up an entire bunch. Inevitably there are a few leftover sprigs which look a bit sad & wilted. You certainly could toss these into the compost. Or you could make Classic Chimichurri Sauce, a tasty & vibrant toping that’ll spice up
When my daughter was little, she LOVED pancakes…any kind…any way. To satisfy her “pancake addiction” I was constantly on the hunt for new & exciting pancake recipes to try.
