Once they start flowering, is there a way to keep them growing?

Snip back the flowers on the basil. Mine typically flower a few times a year and each time I just cut them back and they go on leafing out.
As for the cilantro, congrats, you're now growing coriander seeds.

We grow a shite ton of basil and oregano for sauces.
Just clip the flowers off, cut it lower and it'll keep going.
One another note, we've found the best way if not using fresh is to let it naturally dry out, strip the leaves off the stalks and put them in the food processor to pulverize into a powder. Drying in the oven seemed to take most of the flavor out.
I tried cilantro because I can a lot of salsa but couldn't get it to last.
