About

I love Pesto. It is an awesome condiment that when added to a dish gives it a lovely bite. The only thing is, I have never had fresh pesto. Now I love cooking but it takes time to make pesto then you have to make the main dish. I usually end up grabbing some out of the grocery store. The only thing about that is, it goes bad fairly quickly. Problem solved! That is where She’s Pesto comes into play! She’s Pesto is Pesto made from locally sourced ingredients (Charlotte, NC) and then the pesto is made while it is fresh. It is then frozen into 1-inch cubes. You get as much or as little out of the freezer as you need! So, She’s Pesto sent me some to try so I thought why not make Chicken Margherita! Click below for the recipe!
