Dill Week: Dill Tzatziki

2 Comments

Hello! For the first week of Herb Month I’m featuring dill:) I have a delicious tzatziki recipe that is garlicky and lemony and of course, full of dill. But first, I wanted to share some tips on how to take care of your dill plants. You can just as easily buy fresh dill at the grocery store, but there’s something special about picking fresh produce from a garden.

Dill in my herb garden;)

I didn’t start any of the herbs in my garden from seed- I bought them already sprouted from a garden centre. I then planted them in a large pot with some other herbs. Make sure that the plants aren’t too close to each other and have room to grow. Water your dill well during the summer months. You can start harvesting as soon as your plant has about five leaves (it will probably have five when you buy it from the store). Just pinch off the leaves or use scissors to cut them off. Once you rinse off your dill, you’re ready to start cooking!

Dill Tzatziki

  • 1 clove of garlic, minced
  • About 1 tbs fresh dill
  • Salt and pepper to taste

  1. Mix all ingredients together and enjoy!

Hope you liked this dill recipe/information session! I’ll post my source for dill tips below so that you guys can check that out if you have any questions. Keep your eyes open for two more dill recipes this week!

Yours Truly,

June Bullet Journal Set-Up with May Monthly Recap

Leave a comment

Hi there! As you’ve probably already heard, June is herb month here at MyDayIsBooked.com! I’m super excited, and so for this month’s theme I went with herbs;) I used three different shades of green, as well as my silver gel pen on a black background to give a kind of chalkboard effect, which I think goes with the whole herb garden theme. It was a bit time consuming to draw out all of the herbs, but I absolutely LOVE the way that these spreads turned out!!!! Here they are;)

First of all, here’s my May monthly recap. Nothing changed here, but I just thought I’d share it with you guys;)

Annnnd here’s my title page! I’m loving the different hues of greens;) I drew cilantro, chives, dill, basil and parsley because that’s what’s growing in my herb garden. The green border around the title page adds a little something to an otherwise empty space; you’ll see that I use that through the month. And I found the perfect quote to go with my theme!

My calendar uses more white on black for the days of the week and the dates. I drew some more kinds of herbs, and included a goals section. I didn’t make space for a blog post planning section though, because there’s so much going on this month that I took up an entire page later in the month for that!!

Both my habit tracker and mood tracker are pretty simple this month, as I didn’t want them looking too crazy with all of the different herbs that I was drawing. So I drew a few herbs in the background, another green border, and called it a day.

Here’s my gratitude log. Pretty simple. I wrote a quote at the bottom that says, “be thankful for the things that help you grow” which goes with my theme.

This month I also included a study schedule, which I’ll need with finals coming up!! I wrote Keep Calm and Chive On at the bottom, which I thought was cute because I drew a bunch of chives on this page;))

Finally I have my first weekly spread! I kept it confined to one page because the opposite page is occupied by my blog planner (sorry guys, I can’t let you see any spoilers😊).

There you go! I’m so excited to jump into herb month and share some cool recipes with you guys;) In the meantime, happy planning!

Yours Truly,

June is Herb Month!!

1 Comment

Hi everyone! I’m super excited for June, because it’s herb month at MyDayIsBooked.com! I recently started an herb garden, and decided that during the month of June I would post recipes that center around herbs. In this post I just want to let you guys know what’s going to be happening on my site next month;)

Every week I’ll be focusing on a different herb; parsley, cilantro, dill and basil (not in this particular order). I’ll let you know how to look after and harvest each plant, and post a sauce, salad and surprise recipe that uses it in some way. Yes, there will be three posts a week on my site, and yes, I’m going to have to do some hardcore recipe testing in the next few weeks. But who doesn’t need some extra pressure before final exams? 😂😂

Seriously though, I can’t wait to start sharing my herb posts with you guys. Herbs are great because they pack in so much flavour, but take so little space to grow. I have five different herbs growing in one big pot right now. If you don’t have the time or space to look after a big garden, herbs are the way to go. I really hope that you find Herb Month useful and exciting!

Yours Truly,
