Sunflower Seed Basil Pesto

By Melissak

Yes, I know I said I was going to blog more last week, but yet again life got insanely busy.  Its been filled with work, beach trips and best friend times.  My best friend is back in town for a short period, I’m trying to spend as much time with her as possible.  We’ve been wanting to take pics, but we just end up ranting for hours and forgetting all about it.

I do however have some photos from the beach.

Okay, onto the recipe.  This is a great dairy free, nut free basil pesto.  Its great on sandwiches or pasta.
