Pesto alla Trapanese #MoviesandMunchies

This pesto, originating in Sicily, certainly does not get the attention it deserves.  The Sicilian version of pesto has a fresh tomato base, is full of herbs, and uses almonds instead of pine nuts. It is delicious!!!

I was inspired to make this Pesto after watching Nonna's for our Movies and Munchies group this month......

Fresh Herb Salad Dressing and the Weekly Menu

Warmer weather means a change in the types of foods that my body craves.  Gone are the yearnings for warm comfort meals of soups and stews.  Now, I want fresh crisp salads and beautifully grilled proteins.  This gorgeous, tangy dressing made with an assortment of fresh herbs is the perfect way to welcome in the spring.
