Why, make pesto of course!!
I had no real recipe, I just picked off all the basil leaves; I have sweet and purple basil here.

I can not begin to tell you how good this smelled!

Garlic and pine nuts...

and of course parmasan cheese!

Blend it up very well...

Don't forget the olive oil! Lots of it!

And finally give it a freeze in little homes; pack them away in an airtight container once solid, they should keep for a while!
I made another batch using macadamia nuts instead of pine nuts because I had that much basil to use up!
If you don't want to freeze your pesto, store it in an airtight container, but make sure you have a layer of olive oil on top.
Enjoy!
I've been enjoying pesto for breakfast (on toast with some sliced tomato), for lunch (spreads on sammaches!) and for dinner (spread ontop of grilled eggplant with tomato sauce, or stuffed into hollowed out cherry tomatos with cheese! ) Delish!

I freeze blocks of cream cheese that I use for baking, for example. I wouldn't use it to spread, but for cooking it tastes and acts just fine!
Pesto freezes and de-frosts just fine! Delicious!
Wooo! Good luck with the herbs! As long as they get sunlight and a watering every now and again, it should be difficult NOT to grow chives! Mint is another hard-to-kill type, and of course Rosemary THRIVES on neglect! (I've actually been told to treat rosemary a bit harshly, as it produces better flavourings!)
That's a lot of pesto, did you grow mint to balance out what it does to your breath? [harhar that was my attempt at a joke]
I do have mint that's gone a bit mad; I had to transfer it to a pot all of its own since it was hogging the pot it was supposed to be sharing with some other herbs!!
