I love how every season brings its own beauty to our lives.
I look forward to this time of year not only because the days are starting
to feel a little cooler and I can wear cute sweaters, but because we get
to reap the benefits of our labour through the harvest.
Or in this case, someone else’s harvest; the grocery store’s to be exact.
They have rows and rows of basil pots on sale, so I bought a couple of pots to
bring home. I’m of course loving burlap right now and made this cute little bag to
cover the plain plastic pot it comes in. Wouldn’t this make a super adorable gift?
Maybe attaching a basil recipe to it? Perhaps the recipe below? 😉

You can use this recipe as a spread, drizzle on salad or steak or just
use it for dipping. I’m a little obsessed with it and put in on everything.

Lucy, this looks wonderful. I wish I had some basil in the house to make this. I bought some crusty bread today in Boston’s North End and this would go perfectly with it 🙂

Basil Oil Recipe is a delicious, easy way to add flavor to food. Basil is not only used in Italian cooking, but also in Asian and Mediterranean cooking as well. Basil adds that little bit of spice that gives food a little bit of flavor. You can use basil for fish, meat and poultry dishes, and also on vegetables and fruits. Basil is a great alternative to the more common oils used in cooking because it is milder tasting and therefore easier to find in your grocery store and more affordable.The easiest way to get started with basil oil recipe is by getting a high quality oil. The best oils for cooking are those high in monosaturated fats like those found in sunflower oil or olive oil. Both types of oils have great properties that help make them easy to find and easier to use. Basil oil is one type of oil that is particularly good for cooking. To make a simple dinner using basil oil you simply combine the oil with a little bit of cheese and bake it. You can also make a nice spread for sandwiches or add a little to soups or potato salads. You can also serve it with pasta or salad. Basil adds a wonderful flavor to any food that is cooked in it, and since it’s naturally flavorless, it’s a perfect addition to your kitchen.

This recipe is very useful. Use a funnel to strain the oil and a spoon to smash the last bits of oil out of the leaves.

I found your article very helpful. Basel oil helps to improve immune function, protect against infection, reduce water retention, and stabilize irregular menstruation. In this article, I found it very helpful to make the base oil at home with ease and quickness. It is an excellent alternative to the more common oils used in cooking.
