Summer Deliciousness ~ Pesto

Have you ever found a food that is in your top 10?

Pesto & Basil are one of mine.

Basil how do I love thee, let me count the ways:

• Shredded in salads
• On sandwiches
• Shreds on top of many main dishes and soups
• PESTO….on pasta, corn on the cob, toast, chicken, baked potatoes, etc
• And the most important….on a spoon or finger.
