Here is the highly anticipated apron of the month!
August
The Pesto Apron
Note the two pockets, perfect for stuffing with herbs if you forget a basket. This is a sturdy and practical apron great for indoor and outdoor use.
My improvised pesto recipe:
1 cup fresh basil
1 cup fresh parsley
1 clove garlic, quartered (add more to taste)
1 tsp. salt
1 cup pecans (usually pine nuts are used but I didn't have any)
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (I used less)
1/2 cup olive oil
Puree all ingredients except oil in a food processes until a paste forms. Slowly add oil at the end and process again until it's all blended.
Warning: Pesto causes garlic breath that lasts a very long time!!!!! If you eat enough pesto you may turn into a garlic clove. (just kidding)
 |
| From the garden: sweet basil, flat leaf parsley, and hardneck garlic. |
 |
| Finished Pesto! Kind of gross looking but I promise it is deeelish! |
 |
| Pesto pizza topped with tomatoes and fresh spinach. Yum. |
Be sure to check back next month to see the fabulous apron of September. It will be delightful, I promise.
