Bruschetta! I craved it, so I made it…something that I usually save for the restaurants! I wasn’t disappointed. Not only was it super flavorful and tasty, but just having the fresh basil plant in my kitchen filled my cooking space with a sweet pleasing aroma adding to the whole atmosphere of preparing a meal and enjoyment of eating dinner. I’m not sure which I took pleasure in more…the making and eating of bruschetta or having the fresh basil fill the atmosphere!
Basil is a member of the mint family, and the many varieties are known for their gratifying aroma and flavorful taste. Basil has been a medicinal remedy throughout history for things such as stomach irritations and even bug bites. More recent studies suggest that sweet basil may provide other health benefits too from reducing memory loss, depression, and blood pressure to possibly helping in the prevention of certain cancers.
The fresh basil in my kitchen today reminded me of how we can be a pleasing and fresh aroma to others all around us in our daily lives.
