Basil Pesto Recipe and Meal Ideas
The Doctor does not have a lot of time to spend in the kitchen. So instead of cooking, I mainly assemble Whole Foods Plant Based Ingredients together.
I prepare about 4 cups of Basil Pesto each week and zucchini muffins early in the week to have on hand for easy prep meals.
