Homemade Pesto

 

Homemade Pesto is simply divine.  We grow a beautiful garden, you can check out How our Garden grows  and get a look at it from seeds to harvest.  We have a ton of Basil right now AND one my favorite things to make with Basil is Homemade Pesto.  It is SO easy and just about the best thing you can make with fresh Basil 🙂
