I didn’t post last night because I didn’t have an image, but I named January 11, 2016 – Pesto. Today I remembered this photo in aprons from my friends Jody (pictured left) and Doug’s Fourth of July party. (Yes, that’s me on the right.)
Last night was the first time I cooked from scratch in quite awhile. My husband (pictured center) does most of our cooking these days. But I was inspired, and it was delicious. I did vegan pesto with basil, pine nuts, fresh garlic, sea salt and fresh ground black pepper and extra virgin olive oil. We thought a touch of lemon might have made it even nicer, and would definitely add a bit of kalamata olive next time since our bites along with the olives were our favorites. It tasted abundantly fresh and delicious.
What have you been inspired to make in the kitchen lately?
I’m renaming each day this year as a reminder that each one had it’s own inspiration. Today is: Pesto

Such a nice photo of you all Sheri! I made a lovely hot-pot using a haunch of venison with lots of root vegetables and onion on Christmas Eve. Lots of red wine and rosemary too. It tasted gorgeous!

Monday I made almond crusted chicken with beurre blanc and a roasted bacon/broccoli dish with a fig balsamic drizzle.

Sounds fabulous. I think I would especially like the fig balsamic drizzle. That might be nice on a good cheese too.

It’s heaven on everything. A local small batch distiller I found at the Mercer Island farmers market last summer.

I’d like to find a recipe for the drizzle sauce and make some myself, perhaps.
