You and Emily should make Pesto! Our neighbors had so much basil that they invited us over for a pesto making party. (Here's an easy recipe: http://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/fresh_basil_pesto/) Then after we had made it we ate pesto chicken pasta and each took home a container.
ReplyDeleteThat is a fun idea! I'll have to check out your recipe...I don't think I've made pesto before.
ReplyDeletePS- I LOVE reading about your adoption process. Please keep documenting it for all of us! Dave and I are going to an adoption conference in October and I am really looking forward to learning more about the options!
Emily you can freeze herbs as well. Chop them up, put them in an ice cube tray, pour water over, and freeze. Once they are frozen solid, you can remove them from the tray, label and store in the freezer in a zip lock bag. To use, you can either thaw and drain, or just throw in the frozen cube if a little extra water won't matter.
ReplyDeletePesto is good too!
