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!
