Red, White, and....

green?!?

Sorry, no blue basil here.  But just looking at this picture is making my mouth water.  This is the perfect summer snack, or meal with some wine after a long day at work (speaking from experience!)

The best part of my Caprese Salad is that I grew the basil myself!!  I have been known to have a black thumb, but I actually planted 3 different seeds a few months back (basil, cilantro, and chives) and watched them grow!

What started out like this...
 and this...
 grew a little to become this...
 and grew a little more...
 and more...
yummy!  I'm so proud of my gardening skills.  Not too shabby for a city girl, huh?

Happy 4th of July!
