Basil
I have basil coming out of my ears, so I must use up some of this week before my poor plant buckles under its own weight.
Twist my arm!
Tonight I made gnocchi with a simply tomato sauce and sliced, fresh basil on top. I also made a caprese salad with a $4 tomato (I can't wait until mine come in!!) I found at the farmer's market and goat cheese, since i love it so (Italian purists, back off--it's still a Mediterranean twist!).
Later this week, I'm gonna make a shrimp, basil, lemon, tomato pasta dish, and I've been putting basil in my morning eggs (which I got from a local chicken farm).
I could be hopped up on much worse herbs, let me tell you! All the morning chats with my plants are really paying off.
On other fronts, my personal trainer is kicking my ass. I had to weigh in this week. I'm getting markedly stronger, and I've lost 3 pounds. Well--it's a start!

Congrats on all the basil! Can you share your gnocchi recipe? I'm dying to make some but need to get a potato ricer....Also, kudos on sticking with your fitness regime, I really need to get back on mine--the weight comes on so easily but I have to work so hard to get rid of it.
if i told you, i'd have to kill you. ;)
