Even though its winter, the organic herbs are growing like weeds. I even feel guilty if I don’t use them every day. My tomatoes on the other hand are not thriving as well, so I still need to pick them up at the farmers market on Saturday mornings.
I’m using the basil like most would use lettuce and spinach, just stacking it high for a full of flavor, mouth watering bite! We often have bacon, basil & tomato {BBT’s} another signature dish, on the menu. 
This is a favorite of mine for a light dinner or lunch on the lanai on a whole grain baguette or bruschetta.
Sauteed tomatoes in olive oil & garlic, oregano, lemon zest, balsamic vinegar, sea salt & fresh cracked pepper, simmered until thickened, fresh mozzarella, then topped with a handful of basil. Quick easy and light with a glass of chilled chardonnay, perfect every time! {Don’t forget the Frank Sinatra Radio station on Pandora} Frank makes everything just taste better.
Buon Appetito!
