🌿✨ Herb Spotlight: Basil ✨🌿
Did you know one of the most common herbs in your kitchen could be one of the most powerful for your family’s health?
Basil isn’t just for spaghetti sauce—it’s packed with antioxidants, supports healthy digestion, and can even help calm stress. Plus, it’s super easy to grow on a sunny windowsill or in the backyard. 🌱
Here’s a quick family-friendly recipe that puts fresh basil to work:
🍅 Fresh Basil Pesto (Kid-Approved!)
Ingredients:
• 2 cups fresh basil leaves
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• ½ cup olive oil
• ⅓ cup pine nuts (or walnuts for budget-friendly)
• 2 garlic cloves
• Pinch of salt & pepper
Instructions:
1. Add basil, nuts, garlic, and cheese to a blender or food processor.
2. Pulse until finely chopped.
3. Slowly stream in olive oil while blending until smooth.
4. Season with salt and pepper.
Serve it tossed with pasta, spread on sandwiches, or even as a dip for veggies. The kids won’t even realize they’re getting an antioxidant boost! 🙌
