Kale Pesto
Pesto is just one of those things that makes anything taste awesome. If you are looking for a way to flavor up a boring dish, throw some pesto in there, people! The uses are endless...a few spoonfuls in your stir fry, a dollop on top of your bowl of soup, an addition to cream sauce, eaten straight out of your fridge with a spoon...ENDLESS! One of my personal favorite ways to use pesto is in a ...
Pesto Chicken Meatballs Over Lemon Arugula
Between this recipe and the Chicken Meatballs with Thai Coconut Curry Sauce I posted recently, I think that chicken meatballs are my new besties. #bestiesforlife. Why? Because they are healthy, easy, and super yummy. Chicken is a much lighter meat than beef, and it also has a more subtle taste. Still supa delicious, but it yields to other flavors better, liiiikkkkkeeeeee curry sauce or PESTO, for ...

But...regardless of the reason...I was craving pistachios last week like nobody's business and wanted to make some kind of recipe ...

Proceed to whiz together and pour embarrassing amounts on every type of food in your refrigerator. This dish is packed with so much protein and healthy ingredients that it ...
Cilantro Cashew Pesto
There is this restaurant in Charlotte called Cowfish, and it is one of my top three favorite restaurants that I have ever eaten at EVER. It is soooo so so so soooooooo SO good. The point of the restaurant is the fusion between burgers and sushi - hence the name...Cowfish. So aaaanyway, there is this one burgushi (their sushi/burger combo rolls) called the Taste Explosion that has this ...

We are on day two out of three in our pesto week! This chicken salad pita is not only very healthy for you, it is packed with tons of flavor. The chicken is juicy and pesto-y (word?), the red onions are sharp and crisp, the arugula is fresh and peppery, and the creamy lemon pesto yogurt sauce brings a final note of brightness to the sandwich. This recipe won't make you feel like you are ...
