Making pesto

Yesterday the boys played an integral role in making pesto for dinner. I decided to have them help when I told them we would be having green sauce with our noodles tonight and they both made stink faces and said no. Then they plucked all the leaves from the basil plant, watched patiently next to me on the floor while I grated the Parmesan, and sat on the counter while I poured the oil into the mixer. They took turns pushing the pulse button on the processor. And then they dipped crackers into the finished pesto in the processor (again and again).They didn't eat a LOT of pesto noodles but they did eat some. Victory!
