Interesting recipe experiment

Recently I modified one of my own recipes that makes a very simple and tasty meal. Basil Pesto is delicious and is easily tossed into pasta just before serving. By sauteing some onions, red peppers and broccoli this dish looks and tastes like a gourmet production.

Last weekend I used half fresh kale (one bunch, rinsed and drained) and half fresh basil from my Aero Garden. The result was awesome and a recipe that I will make again and again. The bonus is the recipe is nutritious due to the addition of fresh kale. Soon I will create a recipe video, but for now gives this quick recipe a try. Make the pesto when you have time then freeze it in small batches (I use snack size plastic baggies). Then on a work night, toss the pesto into hot cooked pasta for a family treat!

Super snacks for the Super Bowl

People are already thinking ahead to the Super Bowl and the snacks to serve for this annual feasting event. Why not prepare a snack or two that can also serve as a quick energizers for the days following the Super Bowl party? Set aside small amounts in snack-sized plastic bags and take to work along with fresh red peppers or broccoli as a special tasty treat while on the job.

Here is my favorite snack recipe: Roasted Garlic Roasted Hummus
