Mint Anyone?
So...the other night I made a stupid mistake (I do that every now and then...). I was at the store getting ingredients to make pizza, and I thought, "Hey, fresh basil is yummy, I'll get some of that." Sounds like a great idea, right? I thought so too, that is until I got home and actually bothered to smell my basil, only to realize I bought MINT LEAVES. Crimany. What am I supposed to do with MINT LEAVES?

Haha thats too funny!! I have done the same thing before (not with basil though!) I was in a hurry and trying to run through the grocery store getting everything I needed and I grabbed a head of cabbage instead of lettuce!
I don't have any mint recipes for you but if I hear of any I will pass them your way...good luck!
One time Matt and I had a mint basil plant (kinda funny combining the two huh). We really love smoothies and somewhere he got the idea to put a leaf in the smoothie. It was so good! It just kicked up the other flavors. I imagine mint might work the same way--just don't put too much. You could try looking for recipes at foodnetwork.com or recipezaar.com. Mint chocolate chip ice cream would be good! Good luck!
HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH! So glad I could be a part of that realization the other night! Thanks again for the pizza, by the way! It was SO YUMMY! As far as mint goes.. I do have a couple recipes actually, but no idea where they are. I'm right in the middle of organizing my recipes and haven't come across them yet! I'll let you know when I do!
I just looked on kraftfoods.com for you (you can search for recipes just by putting in the ingredient you have) and they pretty much only had mint leaves as a garnish. What a funny little mistake. :) Sorry again about ditching you tonight. It wasn't on purpose I promise!
All I ever do with mint is scratch and smell and enjoy.
