Pesto

Let's start with an easy one.  Pesto.  Green, yummy, creamy, delicious pesto.  I love the stuff!  I use it for all kinds of yummy things.  Slather it on French bread, over pasta, in place of mayo or with a sandwich!  It's great stuff!  Here's the recipe:

2 cups packed fresh Basil
2 small cloves Garlic
4 Tbsp Pine Nuts
1/2 cup Olive Oil
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan Cheese
salt & pepper to taste
Throw it all in a food processor or in my case a really great blender and drizzle in the Olive Oil.  Refrigerate and enjoy for days....if it lasts that long.  I found this picture on pinterest because my camera isn't working.  This is what it should look like.
