I love pesto. But I have always been a little intimidated to make it. It never seemed to turn out the way I wanted it to. 

I have been attempting to cook a little bit heart healthier. (Baby steps, my friend, baby steps.) I have a whole canister of flax seeds and earlier this spring I planted a ton of basil. 

Did you know you can sub out nuts in pesto for flax seeds? Well you do now! And it tastes great.
