Today I made my first basil pesto of the summer! I Today I made my first basil pesto of the summer! I had to cheat a bit and buy basil since my plants are still on the small side… but it was locally grown basil so close enough. 😆 Looking forward to a summer of enjoying basil pesto pasta, pesto grilled “cheese”, pesto on pizza, and pretty much anything else I find to smear it on. 😁 

Happy Basil Season!!

This is just one of the ways I love to use basil pesto. We also add it to veggie sandwiches and burgers. .
