Fresh Pesto To Pick Up Your Day! ~ Friday Foods

Hi, Sweet Friends!
It has been a week since I have posted! Life gets busy when you have Grandchildren! I thought it was busy when I had my children, but having the Grands is like having children again that you send home at night...whew! I'm so exhausted! LOL
So, we had a nice batch of Pesto to have with out Spaghetti noodles. It was delicious. We started with a large bunch of Basil.

Pesto
The recipe that we used was from Ina Garten's Pesto Recipe.
 |
| 1/2 Cup of finely chopped Basil. |
Fresh basil is such a treat and in this Pesto recipe, it packs a wonderful punch to the pesto!
 |
| Chop the basil finely so that the pieces blend nicely with the pine nuts, parmesan cheese, and the olive oil. |
 |
| I grow Basil every year in the garden. |
We have even had Basil in our Alfredo Sauce. It is also delicious in salad or eaten in Lasagna. Follow the links for Ina Garten's Pesto Sauce!
"Ina prepares a traditional pesto to satisfy a crowd in just 15 minutes. Because air is pesto's worst enemy, she recommends using the sauce right away, or storing it in the refrigerator or freezer with a thin film of olive oil on top." Ina Garten's Pesto Recipe
"When food is vegan- and paleo-friendly, you're off to a solid friend-pleasing start. Add a delicious savory pecan-and-spinach filling to mushroom caps, like in these Vegan Pesto Stuffed Mushrooms and, well, you really can't go wrong." Shape's Pesto-Stuffed Mushrooms
Enjoy!
