*** A WORD FROM THE KITCHEN ***
Wanted to share one of my fave Summer appetizer ideas
it's a LAYERED BASIL PESTO SPREAD and served with basket
of either toasted French bread or even buttery crackers
on the side too. I haven't made this once where someone
wasn't practically licking the plate clean. I love
homemade pesto but intil the basil starts coming in
strong or I'm in a hurry normally I do the jar and it's
just fine to me. I do, however pull out the pretty
plate ;o)
Enjoy!
