  Just because you're not supposed to drink wine during your 2WW, doesn't mean you can't find a use for it.  Well done.   =D>

  @Justone13 - Oh, if you're picking basil, you might as well make pesto.  We make big batches of pesto in the summer, so we can freeze it for the winter.  I freeze it in my silicon mini-muffin pan, so I can have individual servings, but I also freeze it in quart soup containers, well, because I like pesto.

  
  

  I've also been meaning to try freezing my herbs.  Freezing them straight, or in ice cubes, or in olive oil.  If you haven't tried it, now's the time.  Keep your mind occupied, and your freezer full.  You will appreciate it in winter, when you're missing your garden.

  for freezing straight, do you just throw them in a ziplock?? This is a great idea!!!

  @jen102279 - I haven't actually done it yet, but theoretically, yes.  I posted a link from BHG that goes into several options for freezing herbs.  Check it out here.
