My Kitchen's Secret Weapon

I have mentioned in many of my basil recipes that I use basil in a tube that I find in the fresh herb section with the produce. This is an ingredient that I keep on hand and it brings freshness that you just can't get throughout these colder months. Today I spread it very thinly on bread, topped it with thinly sliced and seasoned tomatoes and muenster cheese. A quick but gourmet lunch for the hubby hard at work. I just appreciate this ingredient so much that I wanted to share it with you and now it can be a secret weapon in your kitchen too!
