Fredericksburg Herb Farm is an herb farm (duh!), and \u00a0also boasts of a bed and breakfast and a restaurant. The restaurant is a historic rock house built in the 1890’s. The chef \u00a0prepares the menu using fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs grown in the premises. With that, it became our instant favorite, specially when we need to detox from all the German food (I have not featured any of those yet, I have to pace myself because there’s a LOT of great ones here)<\/p>\n

\"Thyme<\/a>
Thyme Basil Sangria–an “organic” drink. You’re welcome, liver.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Like<\/a>
Like almost every place here, this has a homey vibe going on.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Had<\/a>
Had to take a picture of this electric snow-globe-but-not. It changes color, really cool.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

Menu changes by the season. I was going to get the Spinach and Mushroom lasagna, but they ran out (WTH, at 11:30 noon??? FAIL) It infuriated me because I thought it must be that good, and I just missed it\u2026So I gave the menu a once-over and found this jewel. It smelled so good! I can always make any old lasagna. I have no idea how to smoke a duck and\/or potatoes THEN smack them all into a pizza and make it turn out this way. \u00a0So, this order was a total win, you can tell from my smile.<\/p>\n

\"Duck<\/a>
Duck and Smoked Potato Pizza<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"D,<\/a>
D, the original creature of comfort, ordered the house special, Roasted Pecan and Dried Cranberry Chicken Salad.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

He’s been ordering that from the last 82 times we’ve been here. He is “that” kind of person. And that is why he has no food blog\u2026.hehehe. In his defense, that salad is really good.<\/p>\n

\"Rosemary<\/a>
Rosemary Pound Cake. I have yet to be comfortable adding herbs to desserts. This is an inspiration.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
