21 Recipes with Basil

July 23, 2014 By Shannah Coe 4 Comments

I have the world’s worst black thumb. Until recently, the only plant I have been able to keep alive is a Christmas cactus that I was given as a gift when my grandfather died years ago.  That changed recently when I purchased a hydroponic basil plant because they were out of regular basil. On a whim, I decided to plant it and it has been flourishing ever since. The more it grows, the more I realize that I need to find ways to use it and I collected 21 recipes with basil. 

These are the perfect way to use all the extra basil in your house.

I love basil and already had a few ways to use it but, even with giving some away, my plant was still producing way more than I even expected. Now, I am excited to try these new recipes.
