  • Pesto Tofu Scramble

    Finally back with an actual recipe! I have been making this fantastic pesto tofu scramble a lot lately. It’s the kind of breakfast I am ALWAYS in the mood for! I was lucky enough to find a pre-packaged pesto that happened to be vegan (it wasn’t advertised that way but I read about seventeen labels…

  • Cast Iron Skillet Pesto Pizza

    Introducing the best pizza I’ve had in YEARS. Oh MAN does this pizza impress. This was a group effort the other night – my brother-in-law, sister, and I all worked on getting this pizza together. We fought with it, we had a serious setback, we had delays. But an hour and a half later when…

  • Roasted Asparagus Pesto Pasta

    I read somewhere (and can’t remember where…) that blending cooked asparagus into pesto is a thing. Like, something yummy that sneaks veggies into a dish that people love. I’m game. Gotta try that one. So I whipped up a very basic pesto recipe while I roasted some asparagus and sweet potatoes and boiled some water.…

  • Roasted Vegetable & Creamy Pesto Sandwich

    I had a sandwich like this at a little random restaurant while wine tasting this weekend, and it was so good that I had to recreate it immediately!  My friends and I went to Amador County for some wine tasting (some pics on yesterday’s weekend recap post), and we wound up getting a little lost. …

  • Leftover Makeover: Sun Dried Tomato Pesto Hummus

    Quickie post for you today!  I mentioned on my Sun Dried Tomato Pesto Pizza post that I usually make a double batch of pesto when I make it and tend to eat half of it just spread on bread and whatnot. Well, I didn’t seem to feel like that lately.  My extra batch of pesto…

  • Sun Dried Tomato Pesto Pizza w/ Mushrooms & Caramelized Onions

    Happy Tuesday, folks!  How is your week going? My last couple weeks at my new job are flying by faster than usual.  I think that’s a good thing.  But I also have no idea where all the time is going! But more of it should go to food, probably.  Food time.  For sure.

  • Thai Basil & Peanut Pesto Buckwheat Pasta

    Finally, success with a savory recipe!  UBER success.  This is crazy good.  I have one serving left over and it’s all I can do to avoid running into the kitchen right now to eat it.  YUM. I complained yesterday that I couldn’t even make sure I bought fresh Thai basil this week – I was…

  • Butternut Squash Ravioli with Sage Pesto

      I am so excited about this recipe – not just because it’s yummy, but because it was born of me trying to use up some leftovers, and it came together so well.  Last week I was out of town visiting my parents.  Before I left, I went through my fridge and used up what…

  • Roasted Tomato & Pesto Panzanella Salad

    This is my favorite way to eat tomatoes.  Truth is, I really don’t like them.  I never have.  I was searching for tomato recipes, trying to find some that I actually enjoyed.  And when I found this one, I was thrilled — loads of garlic and balsamic flavors.  I don’t even remember where I found…
