I started this blog so my daughters could find all of our family favourite recipes in one place. It has actually grown into more than just the family favourites but also other recipes we've tried out in our kitchen. I don't like to fill up the post with alot of chatter. Sometimes there's a little story to tell, but usually I like to get right to the point. So this is for them, but hope you find some recipes that you like as well. I'll be sharing a lot of recipes, and along the way you'll find some crafty things and maybe some helpful hints too! Welcome!

Parsley and Walnut Pesto

Parsley is still growing strong in the garden. So here's a quick and easy recipe that can add a burst of flavour to pasta, fish or chicken. 


Ingredients:
3 cups loosely packed flat leaf parsley
3 heaping tbsps chopped walnuts
2 tsps lemon juice
2 tsps chopped garlic
3 tbsps parmesan cheese
1/2 cup olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

Pull the parsley leaves off the main stalks, the fine ones can stay. Place them in a food processor along with everything except the olive oil.

Now, while the processor is running, pour the olive oil in a thin stream and blitz until smooth.

Your pesto is now ready to use or freeze for a rainy day!
Makes 1 cup. Freeze in ice cube trays then pop out and toss into a ziplock bag. Each cube is about enough for 1 serving of pasta and will be ok in the freezer for 6 months.
