Arugula Pesto
I went to make a salad the other day and realized that I went a little crazy on buying arugula last week. I reached into the crisper to find another bag just chilling under a bag of carrots. OOPS. So, instead of letting it go to waste, I decided to make Arugula Pesto. Regroup!
But then I realized I didn’t have Parmesan… and then I remembered that time recently when I went a little overboard on buying nutritional yeast in bulk at the store and BING! My arugula pesto turned into a VEGAN Arugula Pesto. If you haven’t already figured out….I have a problem of going overboard when it comes to food.
This pesto is super green! I really thought it would be potent and spicy because I added a ton of arugula, but it’s not. It is heavy-handed on the garlic and the lemon & nutritional yeast add that nice tang a good pesto needs. I love using toasted walnuts in here because it makes for a creamy consistency and base. The kick comes right after you have a bite but it’s almost like a mellow red pepper flake sensation. I crave that kick. Perhaps that’s why I’m arugula obsessed.
Arugula completes me. CONTINUE READING
OUTFITTING: Black/Cream/Brown
Welcome to one of my new features: OUTFITTING.
Every now & then I’m going to share an outfit I put together. I hope you like it!
Now…onto the clothes! If you told me a few years ago that I’d end up liking the combination of black, cream & brown, I would have never believed you. Isn’t it funny how your tastes can totally change? I think it might have something to do with all the wood ceilings in our house. I’m embracing the combination of brown & black because I kinda have to!
One/Two/Three/Four/Five/Six/Seven
Shrimp Corn & Pepper Quesadillas
When I don’t feel like doing much in the kitchen after a long day, I make quesadillas for dinner. Fortunately Casey and Cooper really like quesadillas so I haven’t totally tired them out (YET) with my I don’t really want to be making dinner, I’d have cereal if it was just me, but here’s dinner in a form of a quesadilla trick. Sometimes I feel guilty about the lack of variety, so I try to switch it up and put actual THINGS in the quesadilla besides just cheese.
