Growing your own Basil

This spring, I started growing a few herbs in containers. There is nothing like the scent of freshly cut Basil. So far, I have Thyme, Rosemary, and Basil. New sprouts of Lemon Balm, Parsley, and Lavender have finally appeared. For some reason, the mint seeds are not sprouting, but I’m not giving up.

For me, the best way to learn is by diving in and seeing what works and what doesn’t. I have a little knowledge since my grandparents were farmers and my dad was passionate about gardening. If it wasn’t for the amazing people out there on YouTube, I don’t know what I would do! Thank you, YouTube Creators! You are amazing.

On to Basil. Here are a couple of videos on growing and pruning this wonderful herb. After I prune my herbs, I tie them up with twine and dry them for a couple of weeks before placing them in glass jars. Herbs can be enjoyed fresh or dried and used in recipes as needed.

Best Grilled Sandwich Ever!

He makes it look so easy. I love grilled cheese sandwiches, but never would have thought about trying mayonnaise instead of butter. I can’t wait to give this a try.

Comfort foods, Part 1

I’m slowly coming out of my shell like so many around the world. Do you feel like you’ve lost direction? Need a purpose? A plan? Over the past year, I learned how to bake bread, grow a vegetable garden, sew homemade bags, de-clutter, etc, etc, etc.

One thing I have especially enjoyed are cooking videos and television shows. There are too many to name all in one blog post. I wish I was as creative and talented as the people in the videos, whether they had a few hundred subscribers or over one million there are always new and interesting things to learn.

I’m going to return to this blog by posting one of my favorite comfort foods by The Pioneer Woman. Hope you enjoy.
