In an effort to get more creative with snack time around this house, I've been trying to mesh together some of my favorite foods. The other day I thought, why not stuff a cucumber with something...and then I found the pesto...and then I was a happy girl when it tasted excellent. This is my daughter's new favorite snack, and I have to say, it's very filling.
Ingredients:
-1 large cucumber, seeded
-1 batch of Vegan Walnut Pesto
-Top with dried parsley and a dash of smoked paprika
How To:
1. Stuff cucumber with pesto
2. Eat and enjoy

We had a fabulous time in Napa Valley. My husband and I enjoyed a little getaway (sponsored by my husband's work). We stayed in Calistoga at The Solage, a very luxurious, fancy spa resort. It was much needed time away for a busy mommy and daddy! I was so inspired by the food we encountered! I will be preparing some inspired dishes this month from our trip. Can't wait.

You are quick with the Solage photos! I hope one of the inspired recipes is the carrot ginger soup!
ReplyDeleteHi There Sara...
ReplyDeleteOh good, I didn't scare you off with my crazy dancing! I had such a blast though and it was a much needed release. I used to go dancing all the time and miss it so much.
So I am definitely going to make the carrot soup, however change some ingredients and make it a hot soup. Also, I am completely smitten with fresh figs. I've been dreaming about them since our trip. Some ideas include: fig jam, fig ice cream (either coconut or alternative milk based), fig balsamic vinaigrette, and some sort of a fig cookie. And, here's some great news...our neighbor's fig tree is growing figs as we speak and there's a TON on our side of the fence. Woot-Woot!
What a great way to enjoy pesto! I froze some a few weeks ago. Time to thaw a little for snacking tomorrow!
