MY PESTO

December 9, 2013

First, a bit of housekeeping. The blog is moving to five days a week! You may have already noticed from this past weekend. Currently, I’ve been keeping pace at generally seven posts weekly. That was a lot. And I totally loved it and found it a great way to build up my recipe index. But now, it’s time to switch to a slightly changed groove of things. I don’t know many (any?) other blogs that are a one person operation and churn out seven days a week.

Many, however, do a M-F schedule that seems to work really well. I hope you view this as just as exciting as I do! It’s a classic quality-quantity scenario.

On to the pesto! My favorite way to have it is with an avocado mixed in for this pesto pasta.

    I tried making this and it was WAY to oily (not edible). Assuming I measured correctly, any idea what I did wrong? :( It’s the only recipe from your blog that hasn’t turned out perfectly!

    Finished making this a few minutes ago, using Pecorino cheese, since allergic to Parm. Absolutely fantastic & yummy. Can even spread a tiny bit on toasted Italian bread as an appetizer.

    Thank you for sharing your wonderful recipes.

    excited for you.. yay! because of a pin someone on pinterest posted a while back, i’ve started reading your blog regularly (so.. a little sad for me that you’re cutting back). and to make you feel extra important, it’s the only food blog i keep in my favorites. your recipes are so ‘not scary’ for me, a full time working mother of 2 under 2. so while i will miss your ‘what we ate’ easy organization, i’m excited to see what pops up WEEK-daily!

    THANK YOU!
