How did I miss this????Making pesto eggs as soon as I get to the store. Doing the baked feta and tomato, too. I already have the stuff for that! And I overbought Coleslaw mix this week, so will definitely make that salad! You’re one of our Kitchen goddesses, Mod R!

(I usually read the comments before commenting, but here goes..)
Mod R I think I love you. Please don’t let Mr Mod R get in the way of this… or my love for HA and the BDH… I laughed out loud!
Seriously, you are awesome! I don’t like the reasons that you joined the BDH (to combat hosers) but I am glad that you are here for us. Thank you. Seriously, thank you.

In reply to Laura. Oh my, that sounds lovely! I’m always looking for another “green” sauce to put on things! Thanks for sharing!

In reply to jewelwing. Solidarity!! Although, ???? to dairy. So yummy… so bad for me, and I’m not alone! Thank you! Oh yeah, all the amazing cheeses out there… *whimpers* Well, I do have to avoid yeasts, but lemon juice all the way mmmmm. I try to get what I need using different nuts (even cashews) for the replace-yeast-replace-cheese flavor. I usually find that there are enough ways around that I can get a flavor where I want it, but if it’s something to use in a recipe-at-large I always worry. I am so down to cook eggs in pesto, no matter what. My brother and sister-in-law have been cooking theirs in some sort of home made onion masala and, might I say, gently bragging about it, hehehe.

Best homemade pesto recipe I have made is radish leaves pesto. We used almonds and feta because we didn’t have pine nuts and parmesan in the house that day.

The one substitute for chocolate that works sometimes is bananas. When I want to eat my body weight in chocolate it turns out I am usually low on minerals/vitamins that are in bananas and it stops the compulsion. Doesn’t work when I just feel like a few squares though…

OK, I knew our moderator was stern, and Attentive To Detail….but who knew she had this cruel streak?
Recipes?
RECIPES?!
Recipes, when my discretionary funds have just hit “DON’T TOUCH”.
ModR…you are a cruel, cruel woman, and Ah Is Watchin’ Ya’ll.

Sigh.

At least there were no shrimp.

My favorite type of pesto is made with parsley. Lately I’ve been making a super easy pesto-like pasta sauce with parsley, avocado, olive oil, lime, and salt. Just throw it all in the blender, and add a little pasta water to help it stick to the pasta if you want. I use one bunch of parsley to two small avocados, and everything else either to taste or to texture. It freezes well, too.
