Basil/3 recipes

An easy and simply delicious salad.

This classic favorite is perfect with a cup of tea or coffee. No need to spend $3 for a slice at Starbucks, it's much better to make it yourself.

Next time make your own sauerkraut instead of store-bought, it's so easy to make, and there is no comparison between this two versions. Homemade one tastes a lot better, I just made my second bunch. I finished the first bunch within 3 days :-)

Simple fresh flavors that marry perfectly together make this eye-pleasing personal pizza juicy and fresh. For the photo we used our own fresh pesto and made our own pizza crust from scratch, heck we even ground the flour ourselves in our flour mill. In a hurry? No worries, use a pre-made pizza shell and prepared pesto for delicious fresh pizza in a flash.

A simple and succulent pasta dish that is the perfect meal to enjoy while watching the evening news.

My wife has an excellent recipe for White Bread brought to this country from her grandmother who was originally from Poland. Makes 5 loaves. Typically, this style of bread would be served with baked ham. However it can go with almost anything. Stale leftovers can make excellent French toast.

The other day while we were watching Gordon Ramsay's Hell's Kitchen, chefs were making flatbread, basically like pizza, just different shape, which really made my craving for pizza come back to life. Then start making this sun-dried tomato, olive and basil pesto flatbread, and it was so good...

Cheesy, moist and very flavorful. The combination of mozzarella, sun-dried tomatoes, and basil pesto make this delicious bread. The bread itself tastes absolutely divine.

Nothing is better than a fruity and cold popsicle in a hot summer day. Basil enhances the strawberry flavor, and gives the popsicle extra zing! Have some popsicles to help you cool down the hot summer!

This is a quick, easy and economical recipe, and it was very tasty too. Feta cheese and black olives gave the dish the Mediterranean flavor. Using spaghetti squash lowered the carb and calorie intakes. Definitely will make it again.

Italian salad dressing from scratch. Quick, easy and tasty. No need to buy store-bought bottled dressing; within 5 minutes you will have this delicious Italian herb dressing that goes well with any kind of salad.

This is an excellent way to prepare beets. Reminiscent of potato pancakes, shredded beets and carrots are mixed with eggs and then cooked in a skillet until crispy on the outside. The earthy sweetness of the beets go perfectly with the creamy yogurt dill sauce, simply delicious!

Nothing is like a bowl of warm and delicious chicken noodle soup on a cold winter day.

Love this mediterranean style pasta salad! Marinated artichoke hearts, olives, and feta cheese were a delicious combination. The cherry tomatoes and broccoli add the fresh taste, sometimes we add several strips of roasted bell pepper, or freshly sliced mushrooms, or a few coarsely chopped sun-dried tomatoes.

Delicious, my husband made this pizza for supper and I just couldn't stop eating it. I ate half of the pizza, and drizzled some hot pepper sauce on top, spicy and yummy. We will make it again for sure.

Quick, easy and delicious. An ideal breakfast.
