Words of Wisdom + NEW Recipe!

Hello Lovely! Before todays recipe, I just had to share these words of wisdom from Supraja, one of my Simple Meal Plans members ... "I couldn't resist responding to Christiane who mentioned she hates the chore of cooking and up until recently, I did too! This is how I have now fallen in love with it instead. 1) I plan a weekly menu in advance and shop for all ingredients at once so I know exactly what and how I will be making dinner. 2) I pair cooking with a distraction I love - YouTube. I follow tons of channels from cooking, music, lifestyle and fitness and love to cook with videos and music running in the background on my iPad. It's actually something I look forward to now - cooking with YouTube. 3) I also clean as I cook so I am not thrust with a chore I hate even more at the end of the meal. Hope this helps and good luck! Having home cooked healthy food in the fridge at any time is a blessing.  Like a healthy vending machine at our disposal 🙂" - Supraja,   Wise Lady   Simple Meal Plans Member ______________________ Tomato Almond Pesto Years ago I made a tomato almond pesto for a Maltese friend. She was skeptical but after the first bite decided it was better than regular pesto – I know. It's a big call! I meant to write about it but somehow the idea got lost. Then recently I saw a recipe in Gourmet Traveller (my favourite food mag) for 'Pesto alla Trapanese' using sun dried tomato and almond. I couldn't wait to get into the kitchen and rekindle my tomato pesto love. While the sun dried tomato was good, it's not an ingredient I have on hand all the time, which gave me the idea to use tomato paste. A definite pantry staple. Like green pesto, this works so well with everything. On eggs, veggies, meat, burgers, you name it. Like and adult ketchup. Definitely one to add to your repertoire – especially in Winter when basil is out of season. >> SEE FULL RECIPE HERE ______________________ Recently on Stonesoup... + Tomato Almond Pesto + Berbere Spiced Lentils + Pop's Slow Cooker Magic Meal + Ras El Hanout Substitutes + Stress-Free Christmas Cooking ______________________ Did you miss my FREE Masterclass on Stress-Free Cooking for Christmas?
