Homemade pizza is a family favorite at our house and this Pesto Meatball Pizza is my new go to recipe! Full of delicious flavors from homemade pesto.

I went out to the garden to water this evening and I think my basil plant is ready for another trimming and that means another batch of pesto. My new favorite pesto dish has to be these Pesto Meatballs, especially when topping a pizza!

These were hands down my favorite meatballs ever! I loved that they were bite sized and just bursting with flavor from my homemade pesto.

Homemade Pesto Recipes:

This week has just flown by. My kids started back to school and I’m trying desperately to create a routine. In case you didn’t know, my family stinks at routine.

Here’s the annual first day of school photo of Emmet, I didn’t even broach the subject of taking one of Tucker…. he’s a senior and not interested in mom’s picture taking! He can’t wait for senior pictures, oh wait, that’s me.

So it’s been a good week and I’ve been way busier than I anticipated but lots of work is a good thing. So finally I’m sharing this wonderful pizza recipe that I know you are going to love.
