Awesome Almond Pesto
I totally forgot how much I love pesto and how easy it is to make!! I typically use all basil but I didn't have enough in the house so I came up with this recipe using a variety of other greens!! When I say this recipe is easy, I mean it is so easy - basically foolproof.

When in Minnesota...obviously I would serve with this adorable little canoe spreader. But seriously, how cute is this?! Enjoy!!
