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 🙂
This is perfect for the abundance of basil I have growing in my tower garden! Pinning…
I just got basil from my CSA…this looks like a delicious way to use it up! Would go great with my tomatoes!
