I woke up late on this sunny spring morning; quickly primped and prepped, rushed out of the house, bounded into the office, and to my surprise I was greeted with this special offering…. a little purple pot with a cute mini ‘lime basil’ sprout, kindly prepared and gifted by my young office compadre. What a delightful treat!

I am an avid fan of Yummly for inspiring recipes and when my little baby bud has grown into a lovely bunch, I’m gonna give this meal a whirl: Thai-Inspired Ground Turkey Stir-Fry and will report back with the verdict on it’s deliciousness!

I love Basil and put it on Everything. I tried to grow some last year but the cats kept eating it 😦 So nice to find gifties upon arriving at work. Woot woot. xo
Yeah…. I’m a lucky gal! It is so awesome to enjoy the peeps you work in close proximity with! 🙂
Such a lovely gift. I’m growing sweet basil outdoors. The plans have doubled since the heat wave, followed by rain.
We’re big fans of Caprese salad (basil, tomatoes and mozzarella cheese). We’re growing tomatoes too.
I’ve got a load of ‘chocolate mint’ in my garden… but never know what to do with it! LOL ….. I should check out a recipe for it too…. 🙂
I have chocolate mint growing as well. I don’t cook with it, mostly because I try not to cook (ha). It’s growing like gang busters though, so I have to cull the crop or it will take over the garden. Doesn’t it smell yummy?
Mine totally takes over my garden… I thought it would be a good ‘filler’ but it went a lil’ cray-cray…. LOL….
Yup! That’s mint for you. It will survive along with ivy and cockroaches long after we’re gone. 😉
