Today’s Lagniappe: Basil Pesto
I’ve got tons of basil growing right now so it looks like it time to make some pesto!
- 2 cups packed fresh basil leaves
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1/4 cup pine nuts, lightly toasted
- 2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Combine the basil, garlic, and pine nuts in a food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped. Add 1/2 cup of the oil and process until fully incorporated and smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
If using immediately, add all the remaining oil and pulse until smooth. Transfer the pesto to a large serving bowl and mix in the cheese.
If freezing, transfer to an air-tight container and drizzle remaining oil over the top. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw and stir in cheese.

Love your window and the add on pics to the mirrors. I too have an old window and I put it in my laundry room that didn’t have a window. I put curtains up and used some sky colored paper behind the glass.. I would love to do what you did. Good idea and a good job. Where did you find the stickons ?
Happy Blue Monday.
Hugs, Jeanne

Christy-What a unique wedding gift! I especially love the bees! I am sure it takes a lot of patience and a steady hand to do this–it looks great!

Love how that turned out. I used to love making things with gallery glass, but haven’t used any in years. Might give it another go one day. Thanks for the inspiration.

I’ve just been thinking about using Gallery Glass to add a little bit of privacy to a transom window in our closet. Yours looks great!
