We're having so much fun with our garden everyday. The girls have had so much fun learning how little tiny seeds make the big foods that we get to eat.

 

We are definitely in a season of abundance with our basil right now. The girls are literally picking bunches of it every morning and eating straight leaves!! And what to do with it all the rest....?

 

Basil Pesto (Dairy Free)

 

5 cups of fresh Basil

1 cup pecans

1 cup of EVOO

10 garlic cloves

1 tsp salt

1 tsp nutritional yeast**

 

Put it all in a food processor and blend!

 

**What's nutritional yeast? I'm really not sure what exactly it is, but a lot of dairy free people use it in substitution for a parmeseany type of taste. The one I use looks like this. I put it in pizza crust dough, pesto, pasta, etc.
