Recipes & Kitchen Inspiration

Spinach & Basil Pesto

Swap out some or all of the basil with spinach for a milder, nutrient-dense pesto. Use on pasta, grilled veggies, or as a spread on sandwiches.

Southern-Style Collard Greens

Slow-cook collards with onions, garlic, and smoked paprika (or bacon/ham hock if you like). Serve with cornbread or roasted root vegetables.

Rainbow Carrot Slaw

Shred rainbow carrots, cucumber, and basil. Toss with a sesame-ginger dressing for a bright side dish.

Golden Beet Salad

Roast golden beets, then slice and toss with cucumber, basil, and a citrus vinaigrette. Goat cheese or avocado makes a creamy addition.

Blistered Shishito Peppers

Toss peppers in a little oil, sauté in a hot skillet until blistered, and finish with flaky salt. Serve as an appetizer or side dish.

Cucumber-Basil Water

Slice cucumbers and a handful of basil leaves into a pitcher of water for a refreshing drink.
