Tomato and Mozzarella Pesto Pasta
I honestly can’t think of a better way to use pesto. This just might be one of my favorite recipes involving pesto ever. This is one of those recipes where there are usually never any leftovers. And if there happens to be a little bit of leftovers, they are pretty much gone as I am trying to put the last bit into Tupperware. I find myself constantly sneaking a bite or two because I just can’t stop eating the stuff!

Funny story about this pasta… I love tomatoes and Max is ok with them, but he really hates the seeds in the middle. So he fishes out every tomato and squeezes out the seeds and then he will proceed to eat the pasta. Cracks me up.

Caprese Grilled Cheese

Caprese Grilled CheeseWho doesn’t love a good grilled cheese?! I remember eating grilled cheese all the time as a kid. My dad would make it for my brothers and me but he had his own way of doing it. My crazy dad would sprinkle sugar on the cooked grilled cheese.  Of course we LOVED it! Our baby sitters thought we were all sugar-crazed lying little kids when we told them our dad put sugar on our grilled cheese sandwiches.

Pesto

A couple of weekends ago Max and I were hanging out with some friends. It was a fun time! We played volleyball at the park and then went and got ice cream at this super cool place called Subzero. If you haven’t been, you need to go! They mix liquid creams under liquid nitrogen and it freezes right before your eyes.  After that we went and played games at our friends house. I asked my friends what kind of recipes they would like to see on the blog. My friend Metzli replied and said that she would like to see a pesto recipe. I love love love pesto and thought it would be a great thing to do. So that’s where the inspiration came for today’s recipe.  Homemade pesto is super delicious. It’s amazingly fresh and so flavorful. I can’t stand a dull pesto. Max is weird with his pestos, and he liked this one a lot. The basil pesto comes together quickly and is perfect to give some life to your pasta. Stay tuned because there’s lots of ways I’ll be using this yummy pesto 😀
