Pesto Potato Salad with Green Beans
Good things gro-o-ow, in On-tar-i-o! Good things grow in other places, too! Someone brought me this lovely bush from the farmer's market near work yesterday:
Basil smells so good. People kept commenting on the delicious scent. It's trying to chat with the lucky bamboo on the other side of the cubicle.(My actual desk is much messier than that!)
So I made
Pesto Potato Salad with Green Beans. Doesn't that sound great!? It is! There are lots of pesto recipes,
this one from PPK is kinda neat because on top of the usual ingredients, it calls for walnuts and nutritional yeast.
Bon appetit!

CCSCW cookies!
Alas! I made a half batch awhile ago, and another half-batch last night. I followed the recipe except I added walnuts and shredded coconut. The coconut keeps them nice and chewy! The walnuts have protein so it makes them seem sort of healthy. The taste of the flax is stronger in some bites than others, maybe I didn't puree them long enough.
Best enjoyed with a cuppa Yogi tea from a Blythe mug:

How About Some Simple Cookies?
Since a recipe is long overdue, i wanted to post one i just made for a work pot luck. It's a lovely 'chewy chocolate chocolate chip cookie' from ppk. Nothing beats a dual dose of chocolate! Yummy. I will share with you my version of it, with pictures, on the weekend, but if anyone is interested in some baking, try it out! It's worth the bit of heat in your kitchen. Here's the
