Pesto! Not only do I love saying Pesto! but I love it's bold fresh flavor even more. It's so diverse and soooo easy to make. It just so happens that I was given a basil plant for my birthday and I've already made a few batches of pesto with it's harvest WHILE keeping the thing alive! I'm not much of a gardener........poor me:( HA! I love that I managed to get the word "harvest" in there as if I know what I'm doing with a plant.

| Thank you little bud, you were delicious |
My pesto recipe and mixing method is not exactly how I was taught in culinary school but it comes out just the way I like it every time, so there.
Things I like to do with my pesto:
1. Add it to a cream sauce or even tomato sauce to give it a kick of flava
2. Make it a little thinner (thinner then photo above) by adding olive oil then, toss it in fresh cooked pasta
3. Smother it on a fillet or steak of fish and either broil in the oven or throw on the barbie
4. Add a spoonful to some mayo for a yummy sandwich surprise
5. Place one large spoonful in my chocolate chip cookie dough before baking......just kidding! Just seeing if anyone is actually reading this!
