Pesto, pancakes, 2 minute oatmeal, and basil lemonade!
August 31, 2023
How is it the last day of August? This week we were gifted a massive amount of basil from a friend, so we made all the pesto recipes. We also got a ton of produce at the farmers market to inspire our recipes for the next few weeks: eggplant, zucchini, tomatoes and more!
A few days ago we completed a big photoshoot for our new cookbook (to release in Fall ‘24) and can’t wait to share more about that with you soon! Let us know more about what you’re cooking or craving in the comments or reply to this email.
PS When is too early to start pumpkin recipes? Usually we don’t start sharing them until October…but would you like them earlier?
A fun way to take a sandwich from boring to great! Here’s how we used our big batch of basil pesto.
Here’s our master recipe! Whip up a batch of this vibrant green sauce with your end of season basil plants. It’s so delicious and you can use it to make these 20 Best Recipes with Pesto!
Did you know you can make fluffy pancakes with 100% whole wheat flour? These have become our family favorite: the flour adds a nutty nuance in flavor and they keep you full longer than the AP flour version.
The Best Oatmeal…in 2 Minutes!
You may know that we eat oatmeal every day over here…and here’s our new standard recipe! We make the microwave version with a cook time of just 2 minutes. It’s so tasty and we like to top it with peanut butter, maple syrup and a hint of milk or cream. Larson and Sonja eat this on repeat. There’s also a stovetop version included too!
Another fun basil recipe that’s oh so refreshing! This sweet tart lemonade has an herbaceous finish to each sip, due to an easy basil simple syrup. It’s the perfect drink for this time of year: make a big pitcher or a single drink for sipping.
