How To Make Basil And Olive Oil Cubes

 It's harvest time! 

Basil is one of my favorite herbs to use and I always have some in my kitchen or in my garden. I live in an apartment, so we do not have much space for planting so I have definitely had to pick my favorite herbs to grow this year and you can bet that basil was the first one we planted! I love using basil in my pasta dishes, sauces, on pizza, in sandwiches, etc

I love basil!
