Love this recipe! I did make a small modification and added about a tablespoon of lemon juice just to add some brightness. We love the nuttiness of the toasted pecans in this pesto - if you are a pecan fan you will love it too!

I am a stay at home mom to three young boys. I used to work as a pediatric speech language pathologist and that is when my husband coined my "name" but after the second baby I came home to stay- at least until they all get to school. I enjoy trying new dishes and am slowly trying to expand my family's (and my own) comfort zone for new foods. Thanks for allowing me that opportunity!
