Managing food allergies is a new part of my reality. The start of my journey as a food allergy mom has been difficult. Yet, there have been glimpses of normalcy, encouragement + even freedom. With some patience + creativity I'm developing some new + healthy recipes for our family. I hope your family can enjoy too.

I can't quite get my kids to eat an arugula salad for dinner. But, the arugula in this pesto sneaks in the greens + your little ones won't even realize their pizza or pasta is so healthy. Arugula is a great source of folic acid, iron, and Vitamins A, C, + K. It always feels great to provide food for our little ones that can improve the health of their hearts.

Ingredients:

2 cups arugula

2 cups shredded cheese

1/4 cup fresh basil

1/3 cup olive oil

Juice of 1/2 lemon

2 teaspoons sea salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

Instructions:

In food processor, add arugula + mozzarella, puree on a medium setting. Add olive oil, salt and pepper, blend on medium setting until desired consistency is reached. Add your pesto to your favorite pizza crust or noodles. Enjoy!
