Pesto!

I've been loving pesto lately!

I made a batch last year, and I pretty much only used it on salmon (which is delicious) and tomato soup (also good). This year I wanted to make some more, especially since I had access to fresh basil this year (as in go and pick it yourself then make pesto that night) and it's free. I also have a food processor this year which makes everything so, so much easier. (Last year I used a blender. Lemme tell you, it was a pain!)

I've been mixing regular basil with lemon basil. Oh my. Lemon basil smells so good!

I've made three batches so far.

It's so easy! Pick it, de-stem it, assemble it, mix it. I freeze it in ice cube trays after in blobs with my cookie scooper so I have easy portions to store in my freezer. (The blobs aren't quite as neat-looking but way easier to work with.)

Now I can try it on all sorts of things - like pasta and chicken, I hear it's great with those.
