Is there really anything better than homemade pesto?! Honestly, if you ask Steve or Lily..heck, Luke for that matter and he’s usually picky, they may tell you, no when it comes to their dinner favs. THEY LOVE THIS STUFF. One of my favorite things to do is be in the kitchen playing around with ingredients…maybe it’s therapeutic…anyone else feel like that in the kitchen? You just get to think about cooking and forget the stress of the day? It’s the best and making homemade pesto is one of those I enjoy time after time. After having a caprese salad the other day, this recipe kind of came to me, and it is GOOD. One, because Steve is not a cold food lover. Like he would never touch a salad, but if I sautéed it….he’s in. So this dish was born. I have tried to come up with ways to incorporate my homemade pesto it into meals, and I have to say the family is a big fan of this new one.
