I’m getting a head start on planning Spring and Summer favorites … like this homemade basil pesto sauce. One of my favorite sandwiches is tomato, mozzarella and pesto. The secret is the ratio of pesto sauce to the rest of the sandwich. In my book, we measure with our heart and are never afraid of “too much”. Doesn’t exist.

Here’s a quick recipe for homemade pesto you will absolutely love and revisit for years to come.
