Hail basil, one of the most beloved herbs by so many of us. Oh yes, I am one of them, talk to me about pesto! Plus there are so many ways to make it and this version is a tasty take on traditional pesto infused with a trifecta of omega 3’s to help combat inflammation.

ASIAN GINGER SAUCE
Sauces are the secret to sassing up your meals and this flavor filled creation is fabulous as a marinade and sauce. It brings the ‘yum’ to your main courses and side dishes. My preference is to use organic gluten free tamari or soy-free coconut aminos. This is a milder and slightly sweeter tasting alternative to soy sauce and tamari. Like all food creations, choose what you love best. Keep this sauce on hand for quick stir-fry recipes as well as Buddha Bowls.
