Looks amazing! I'll definitely have to give this a try. Heck, I think I have most of the ingredients as it is!

This recipe looks great, simple and easy to cook and you can even replace the "parmesan cheese' with 'vegan parmesan cheese' and then you have a Vegan meal, which is great news for Vegans!
With coconut oil and all the nuts and seeds it's really nutritious too!
yes! i actually posted a vegan pesto not so long ago. it is amazing too! very similar but no cheese at all.. instead its just lemon, nuts and basil.. and is SO good! with coconut oil not olive on that one..
Coconut oil is so tasty in cooking!
I'm really a good cook, my youngest daughter is much better. I usually chop and see cooks! :)
