I love pesto so much, and I’m always trying to find ways to incorporate it into new recipes. At the end of each summer, when the 
basil plants resemble bushes and our CSA share is full of basil I find myself making mass quantities of Homemade Pesto and freezing it for the winter months. There’s no store brand pesto that’s quite like homemade pesto. Last week I decided to use some of my pesto to make a Chicken Pesto Pizza. I had some grilled chicken and tomato on hand, and the combination was delicious! Pizza night just got a little bit more interesting around here!
