5-Minute pesto sauce homemade

pesto sauce homemade

P.E.S.T.O.

Pesto. Pesto. Pesto!!!

Did you know I wanted to be a cheerleader growing up, but was too involved in competitive soccer (and not very coordinated) so i was never able to try out. Whomppppp.

Did you also know…in order to make the best pesto ever all you need is a food processor, 5 ingredients, and 5 minutes?! If I hear anyone say they don’t have a food processor…we are no longer friends.

Just kidding, but seriously! If I had to suggest one small kitchen appliance to invest in..it would be a food processor, no doubt! The one I use is a small (I want to say 3 or 4 cup) Kitchen Aid that I got from Target. It’s similar to this, but smaller. Just think of all the amazingness you would be able to make…

• NUT BUTTER
• Balls galore…like these Peanut Butter Brownie Balls.
• Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Banana Soft Serve

The list goes on. And includes PESTO!

You,ll need for pesto sauce homemade-

• Fresh Basil
• EVOO
• Garlic (preferably fresh, but if you’re lazy like me you will use pre-minced)
• Lemon Juice
• Pine Nuts

Then you whirl.

And whirl some more.

Until it looks like baby food

Viola. You’ve got pesto in just 5 minutes!

If I could go back to high school, I don’t think I would change the sports I played. Soccer was a HUGE part of my life since I was about 5 years old. It helped create my love for exercise and healthy living! Plus- I’m a lefty…so I owned the left side of the field 

What sport (activities) did you play/do in high school?
