    Ooh, thank you! My toddler has a major dairy intolerance that were trying to address, but she LOVES pesto. (Seriously loves it. Won’t eat her chicken? Add pesto. Won’t eat her toast? Add pesto. Won’t eat her veggies? Add pesto. LOL!) It’s been hard to eliminate that too, so this has been on my “research” list for a couple weeks, and you just saved me some Googling!

    Spinach is great because the flavor is so mild.
