"Honestly officer, it's not what it looks like."

There was more basil than I had imagined left on the plant before the hard frost last night. Saved it for posterity as cashew-pine nut pesto before freezing.

🍽️🍜🌿

Bag of basil saved overnight in the pantry. Not marijuana. Blanching the basil leaves for a brighter green color, then chocking in ice water. Toasting the pine nuts too afterwards.

Peak apple season and cooler weather means it's time for oatmeal more often:

Apple stovetop oatmeal with cashews and walnuts, seasoned with cardamom and nutmeg, topped with WI maple syrup.

To enjoy with this leftover soup tonight we made a quick bread combining two great Wisconsin ingredients: beer and butter!

Beer bread from Magnolia Table with country potato soup for an unseasonably warm evening. Eight tablespoons of butter isn't a lot, right?
