Do you want to know my favorite thing about pesto? No, it's not that it is amazing scrumptious comfort food that can jazz up various types of meals. But that's pretty awesome too. My favorite thing about pesto is that it is an easy way to increase the greens in your diet (and your kids!) without really even noticing that you are being so healthy. You can make this easy and healthy basil pesto recipe in 5 minutes, so what are you waiting for?
