I will have about 30 volunteer basil plants ready to transplant in a few days! Does anybody want some? If so, WATCH THIS PAGE, bring potting soil and pots and you can dig them up. ALL YOU WANT! They make beautiful upright plants for beds and pots and if you let them go to seed, you’ll never buy fresh basil again. They grow until a VERY hard freeze and emerge at the first sign of warmth.

🥰 READ ENTIRE POST PLEASE: 🥰
Wanna make some great great carpet freshener? All natural? Safe for kids and pets? In a large jar, combine 1.5 cups baking soda with 2 drops of Geranium Essential Oil and 2 drops of Lemon Essential Oil. Seal jar and shake well. VERY IMPORTANT: Let this mixture sit AT LEAST 24 HOURS to allow oils to be absorbed. Shake lightly onto carpet. Let sit 10-15 minutes and vacuum as usual.

LAST NIGHT'S DINNER. AND IT WAS YUMMY! Had to share. You can cut this in half for smaller (5) servings.
10 Thin pork chops w/ bone in
3 cans cream mushroom soup
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can petite diced tomatoes
2 cups brown rice
2 quarts water
Lots of different seasonings

Marinate pork chops about an hour.
(I used grapefruit olive oil/vinegar, chupacabra rub, salt, pepper, parsley)
While marinating chops, mix soups, tomatoes, water and (important) seasonings of choice in large pot. Simmer a few minutes to blend. Taste to be sure it's salty enough. That's the secret.
In a very large casserole dish, add rice and part of soup mixture, mix well and bake uncovered at 400 for 30 minutes.
Brown chops on high in skillet just to sear outsides well.
Add to rice mixture then cover with remaining soup mixture.
Cover and bake at 375 for an hour and 15 minutes.
Uncover and bake additional 20 minutes or until rice is soft. Pork chops will be falling apart!
Enjoy! We sure did.

My version of Bruschetta:
Equal amounts:
Roma Tomatoes
Green Olives
Black Olives
Kalamata Greek Olives

Chop everything up very small. Add a small amount of olive oil and a touch of white wine vinegar. Seasonings I use:
Himalayan Pink Salt
Fresh ground pepper
Garlic powder
Fresh basil (lots)
Pinch of dried oregano
Pinch or two of sugar

Let mixture sit 30 minutes to marry flavors.

Using Baguette Bread, slice about an inch thick, place on baking sheet and brush with olive oil. Bake at 400 for about 10-12 minutes. Remove from oven, flip each piece and with a slotted spoon (to drain liquid), add olive and tomato mixture to each piece.
Top with fresh grated Parmesan cheese and bake at 400 for about 20 minutes. You'll smell the goodness and the edges of the bread will brown.
HAPPY COOKING!

Just made the most amazing homemade flour tortillas I've ever made. Here's the jist of it.

Soft Homemade Flour Tortillas

4 1/2 cups – 5 cups (20 oz.) Unbleached All-Purpose Flour, plus extra for rolling out
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 stick (4 oz.) unsalted butter, softened
1 3/4 – 2 cups hot water (should feel hot to the touch around 100 degrees F)

Combine all ingredients till mixed thoroughly. Knead on floured board. Add flour as needed to keep dough from being too sticky. It should be elastic but not dry. Break into 16 pieces.
IMPORTANT STEP: Cover with damp towel and rest your dough 35 minutes. Do not fudge on letting dough rest.
Roll out on lightly floured board and cook on preheated med high skillet. Wrap in towel to soften them. There's a lot more detail to the recipe but if you're a cook you can figure it out.
HAPPY COOKING!!
