Cool blog

I was looking for a parsley pesto recipe when i came across this blog

A blog about food, and a little about reading,

she has cool recipes, book reviews, and other interesting stuff. I am jealous, she has lots of followers. My blog looks sad in comparison.
I did make her recipe, but i used 1 cup pine nuts and 1/2 cup walnuts, and only about 1/2 cup of olive oil. One batch of this recipe fills one ice cube tray.
I did sample it, and it was soooooooo nummy.

here is her recipe for parsley pesto



Parsley Pesto

1 1/2 cups toasted walnuts

4 cups packed, fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves

2 garlic cloves, peeled

3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest

3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

coarse sea salt


Using your metal blade of your food processor, grind the walnuts to a fine meal.Add the parsley, garlic, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Slowly pour int oil and process until the mixture is smooth. Mix in about 1 teaspoon of salt and taste, adjust if necessary.You can freeze it like I did, or store it in your refrigerator for up to 2 weeks after covering it with olive oil and sealing it tightly.
