Not exactly baking...


...but I thought I'd share anyways! Those who know me know I used to kill any plant within my care. Sad, but true. Somehow in my domestic bliss I have found I can care for succulents (because they barely need watering even in this Florida heat!) and apparently I have a knack for growing basil. From seed. Go figure. So, with a mass abundance of basil, and the fact I can only eat so many caprese salads, I decided to make pesto. It's so incredibly simple that I had to share. Olive oil, parmesan, salt, pepper, garlic, a touch of red pepper and a ton of basil. Freeze and voila~ yummy fresh pesto anytime you want it!
