Vegan Pesto
(sharing previous food blog posts, new ones are coming soon!) I am so happy to share this recipe with you! If you know me personally, then you know how much I love pesto. My love for pesto began many years ago during my youth days in Athens, Ga. I grew up having an amazing big sister who felt like it was her duty to introduce me and my younger sister to new cultures and experiences. We grew up in the southern regions of Georgia and North Carolina, so it's easy for the only thing to be on our palate is traditional soul foods like fried fish or a chicken biscuit. Some of my favorite memories growing up was when my sister would take me to a new restaurant and she would tell me to try something new. I was never disappointed when I would try the cuisines from all around the world. It was one sunny summer afternoon when me, my sisters, and my cousin went out for pizza. We were sitting on the rooftop and looking at the menu to please our appetite. My sister suggested we put pesto on our pizza. I was a little skeptical at first because there is one thing I don't mess with and that is pizza. I really LOVE pizza. I trusted her suggested and we ordered the pizza with pesto. I took my first bite and the fresh and glamorous flavor of basil was there. I remember that day so clearly because to me pesto is life changing. Moving forward anytime I saw pesto as an option I would eat it with pasta, my omelette, and sometimes just simply with bread. Traditionally pesto is not vegan because it has parmesan cheese in it. Although I am vegan I am not missing out on anything that I enjoyed prior to my lifestyle change. Everything can be veganized. This recipe I developed is from me trying all the vegan pestos that have been created and curating the perfect pesto. Basil is packed with many health benefits and it is good for your heart chakra. The rest of the ingredients included in this recipe are healthy too, leaving you with this divine health sauce. Do yourself a favor and make this pesto, its a fun and delicious addition to make your meals extra bright with flavor.
Vegan Pesto Ingredients 1 cup of kale (optional) 1 cup of basil about 2 tbsp of nutritional yeast 1/4 cup of cashews a handful of pine nuts 2-3 cloves of garlic 1 juice of a lemon 1/2 cup of olive oil salt and pepper
Instructions 1.)add all the ingredients into a food processor. (can use a mortar and pestle or a good blender) add more basil if you aren't adding in anything like kale or spinach. 2.)the olive oil amount is a give or take so add as much to make your pesto thinner or less to give it more of a rustic texture. 3.)also you can have fun with the spices, I sometimes add a fun spice blend to take the flavor to another level. 4.)once you blended your perfect batch of pesto enjoy it with pasta or add it to one of your favorite breakfast meals.

For the Love of Basil
Late summer is Basil time around my house. After growing all summer in my veggie garden, it is full and bushy, even though I am harvesting it regularly. Heat and sun loving, this summer has been both, and the Basil this year is loving it! The hydroponic stuff you buy in the grocery store doesn’t compare with sun warmed fresh cut Basil from the garden. Tulsi, Cinnamon, Thai, Lemon, Purple, and…
