Pesto Bruschetta Recipe

Hi to all of Remodelaholic’s friends! I’m Ruthie from What’s Cooking with Ruthie where I love to share a variety of recipes, gardening, DIY/crafts, and a little of “What’s Cookin’ ” around our house!

I’m really excited to share this delicious Pesto Bruschetta recipe with all of you today!

We grow a beautiful garden… have a look at How our garden grows from seeds to harvesting this year. About this time of year I’m trying to figure out what to do with all of our abundant harvest! We share a lot with family and friends AND I get to come up with fun recipes for our family to enjoy. We planted 6 Basil plants this year and everyone of them is just as happy as can be- which means we have a lot of Fresh Basil!

AND with all that Fresh Basil I just had to whip up some fresh Homemade Pesto sauce…

It is wonderful… just about the best thing you’ll ever taste. While I was at it I made a delicious Pesto Chicken and Veggie Saute over whole grain pasta for dinner too, so you must go check that out too!

There are so many ways healthy and delicious ways to incorporate that amazing pesto recipe. Did I mention that it is super simple too? YES, it is… just a few ingredients and a blender and you’re good to go!
