So... a few weeks ago I was at my sister's house and she made an omelette with fresh basil. Yummy! So, I bought a basil plant. I've never really used basil, at least fresh basil so I had no idea what I would do with it... but, it does smell good!
On Sunday I made cheese tortilini with grilled chicken, sauteed with fresh basil and other veggies from the farmers market. I mixed that with roasted red pepper and sun dried tomatoes. I was so great, and healthy fresh too!
Tonight... after working out I wanted something lighter. I had a can of albacore tuna on multigrain toast (with extra fiber), avocado slices, and you guessed it... basil leaves! It was surprisingly delicious.
What to create next? Basil in my oatmeal for breakfast tomorrow? Nah.
I swear there's a Giada recipe out there for Basil lemonade. I seriously want to try it after eating so much fresh basil!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I left a link for you on FB to a recipe! Perfect timing!
oh- you are making my mouth water. That sounds so delicious!
ReplyDeleteWow! Basil lemonade...that would be interesting. I just looked up a couple of recipes and am definately going to try that! I have lots of basil too. I have also added a slice or 2 of cucumber to ice water and that is a great refreshing drink! You should try it.
