It’s only Wednesday and I am looking forward to a weekend of
festivities. The first being the largest
American sport, which I only really enjoy on this one particular day *the Super
bowl. The other a great volunteering opportunity, I will be styling hair for a photo shoot. The models are not big and famous, they are
quite the opposite, small, brave and strong special needs children. This photo shoot will be on display during a
fund raising event Saturday March 2nd 2014.
With this coming weekends activities I wanted to make sure I
was prepared for all the cooking I will be doing on Sunday. I secretly love making appetizers; they make
the best dinner too! One necessity is
pesto, use it to dip veggies, top chicken or pizza and blend with pasta. I have been known to bake some crostini’s and
top them with pesto and fresh ricotta cheese, Amazing!
Ready set Pesto!
Pesto (diary free,
gluten free & paleo friendly)
2 Cup Fresh basil
4
Cloves garlic
¼ Cup EVOO
½
teaspoon Black pepper
¼
teaspoon Sea Salt
¼ Cup Chopped walnuts
2
teaspoon Lemon juice
Rinse the basil; break off any stems and pat dry. Place basil, garlic, pepper, salt, walnuts
and lemon juice in food processer, pulsing for about 30 seconds. Add in EVOO
and pulse until well blended and smooth.
*In the market for a food processor find a great selection at Macy's click HERE to see my favorite. Unless you are blending large quantities look for one that holds 4-7 cups, that will be large enough for daily use.
