Thanks GP!

Yes, basil is amazing! We use it in our daily cooking. I use a lot of it because of the health benefits. My husband and my kids say I overdo it, but I don't think we can ever had too much basil, considering the benefits LOL

I grow so much basil each summer, then harvest it and make pesto, which I then freeze in ice cube trays and use throughout the colder months. I think I could put basil/pesto on nearly anything and it would taste better.

It has been a long time since I made pesto, so maybe this year. Thanks for the tip vitaka!
