I planted a small container herb garden this year, and I got a huge bounty of basil as a result. I've enjoyed it all summer long - pizza, pasta, sandwiches, etc. I wanted to use as much of it as possible before Summer ended, so this weekend, I made pesto. I used this recipe, which I think is pretty standard, although you can adjust it easily to your own tastes. (I used more basil than it called for, since I have a ton and several reviewers said it was pretty garlicky - mine is super yummy.)I filled an ice cube tray with the pesto, covered it with plastic wrap, and put it in the freezer. Now I have homemade pesto in small manageable portions for whenever I need it!
I just love all your blogs! It makes me so relaxed and happy when I read them...you remind me to be happy. It is so much fun knowing how happy you and your family are!!! I'm glad we are back in touch through blogs and email!
