Homemade Pesto with Lemon Thyme Recipe

Hey!
It’s been a while since I’ve made a Tasty Tuesday recipe. Well, as you know, I’ve been busy. But here’s my new find.
Last week I noticed that my basil plants were getting better and bigger. I decided to make my first batch of homemade pesto.
As I am not one to follow recipes and guidelines, I wandered around my small garden in search of inspiration, looking for a spinoff on a great pesto recipe.
Here’s what came out of my head. It was the most delicious and tasty pesto I had eaten in a while, so I will definitely make another batch soon. I only have to wait until my basil plants have grown a bit!
