Hi I’d love to try this! When making the homemade kale pesto and put in sealed contrainer, how long can it safely last in the fridge? can you store it in the freezer? thanks
Mine usually lasts 2 weeks in the fridge. You can totally freeze it! It thaws a little darker in color, but still tastes amazing!
Would a spinach wrap work?
Yes!
A little messy but my little one and I love these quesadillas!
