Spring Break Begins!!

Our first fun activity for spring break was making fresh basil pesto! It's great on chicken for grilling or baking but we have never tried to make it from scratch. After a quick trip to the grocery store we had all the ingredients - basil, pine nuts, garlic, salt and olive oil. We blended everything together, put it in a jar and then realized we had forgotten to stir in the parmesan cheese that Anna had worked so hard to grate! We had a big laugh about that! Anna does love to laugh. I have to say it turned out VERY green and smelled delicious! What a big green mess to clean up in the sink though. The best part was spending some good mother-daughter time together. The next best part will be eating it on grilled chicken with Daddy tomorrow night! Yum-oh!
