Yum… Pesto!

Big Guy cultivated a bumper crop of basil this year, so I just HAD to make more pesto to sustain me, and my friends, into the Fall.  I will admit the thought was crossing my mind especially when I found a large bag of pine nuts at my local grocery store.  YES! 

I am a big fan of Ina Garten, aka the Barefoot Contessa, so I turned to her recipes gracing my bookcase for inspiration.  Ina never disappoints and has always tested out her recipes to assure confidence and perfection every time.  I love that about her!  The best part, despite the scorching temperature in the Lou, I didn’t have to turn on my oven to stay creative in my cool kitchen.

I guess I better start thinking about other ways to use my basil.  You can only use so much pesto!
