Much less expensive than pure basil pesto, packed with nutrients, and still full of flavor, this pesto is a favorite in my house. It is great alone, as a dip, and positively delicious on sandwiches when mixed with a little mayonnaise. Yum!
While nothing beats the taste of gravy made the good old fashioned way, my body is not permitting me to eat flour this year, so I came up with this healthy alternative version. It is slightly grainy, and tastes like a hint of flax, but other than that it is delicious. It tastes really good after a few days in the refrigerator so I like to make it ahead and reheat it when I use it.
I wanted pesto but didn't have enough basil one day so a quick look in the fridge gave me this yummy little idea. I love this served so many ways... try it over beans, veggies, on sandwiches, etc...
This version of kale pesto is simple, nutritious and not nearly as expensive as its traditional counterpart. Mix with mayo for a great sandwich spread or use on cooked veggies. Very versatile. Best eaten within a few days.
Some leftover tomatoes, garlic, and a bit of imagination inspired this wonderful spread which tastes amazing on pumpernickel bread.
An overabundance of cherry tomatoes and a bit of leftover chianti inspired this wonderful tomatoe sauce that is good over pasta, meat, veggies, or even as a dip.
