After spending the morning getting my hair done with Thomas, I came home to find my fall hair highlights to be on the purple side. FUN! I was also starving. So I put together this little lunch. I'm not staying true to my blog by using some opal basil I got from my co-op. However it was so beautiful and yummy, it just looked so perfect on top of this little dish. When I took a picture of it, I thought wow, my hair color is similar to the opal basil color. So I had Troy take a picture of my hair and then I noticed my eyes looked really green with my purple hair. Troy and I were laughing, I guess you really are what you eat!
This is a perfect recipe for 1 person, make sure to double, or triple it for more people! ENJOY!
