We are on day two out of three in our pesto week! This chicken salad pita is not only very healthy for you, it is packed with tons of flavor. The chicken is juicy and pesto-y (word?), the red onions are sharp and crisp, the arugula is fresh and peppery, and the creamy lemon pesto yogurt sauce brings a final note of brightness to the sandwich. This recipe won't make you feel like you are eating ...

Zucchini Noodles with Pesto Cream Sauce
So we are on day one of our three uses of pesto! This first recipe using our "Perfect Pesto" is this amazing pesto cream sauce. I love this sauce. I could eat it like soup...seriously.

Then you always have free basil and can make pesto whenever you ...

Its about 480 calories for each very sizable serving. These are my favorite meals to make. I love ...
