For some reason store bought pesto gives me heart burn, so I decided to try experimenting with the homemade kind.
I'm pretty sure what's making me sick is the parmesan cheese in the store kind. So I make it cheese free and it's super yummy and lower in fat. Well, except that I sprinkle cheese on my pasta, so not so much. But whatever!
Anyway, I decided to try my hand at growing basil. I've got 2 huge pots of basil and I use it all the time. It grows profusely. And, is way cheaper than buying fresh basil at the store.
But, I've noticed that my leaves are turning yellow.
So, I brought the whole plant into the kitchen. And decided to take all the basil leaves off an make a giant thing of pesto.
One problem.
I could not stop sneezing. Seriously.
I'd pick a leaf and sneeze. Pick a leaf. Sneeze.
when the baby woke up from her nap I brought her to the kitchen. She was sneezing non-stop also. That's one powerful plant to have in your house!
And, want to know why we're not getting too much sleep around here?
Check out these teeth ...
And, I know this is really late, but we've started the transition to her crib. Yep. At 6 months she's still right next to our bed in the bassinet.
In all honesty, because we had such a hard time with sleep and Doodle, we're a little afraid to mess with a sleeping baby. But, she's rolling and kind of crawling now, and I'm pretty sure if she tried she could climb right out of her bassinet.
So far so good. But, I miss her when she's in her own room!

That photo of her is SO CUTE! I could eat her up!
Oh, I LOVE basil too, but the funny thing is I can't stand pesto. Weird, must be the pine nuts!
6 months and two teeth? That's insane!
Oh and SciFi Dad...not if I beat you to it!
I also started growing my own basil, oregano and chives this summer. So much fun & so fulfilling to see the plants flourish. Not to mention cheaper than store bought and you can just cut what you want when you need it. I meant to cut a whole bunch and dry it out for the winter but missed the bus on that one as the plants are looking pretty pooched...next year for sure.
