Happy Saturday and Pesto Recipe!!!

 Hello and happy Saturday everyone! I hope all of you are doing well and enjoying the day so far or evening, depending on where you are.

I found a recipe for a Wild Garlic Pesto, it's a german side dish and I think I may make it soon. It sounds yummy and I love garlic. 

Here is the recipe: 

Wild Garlic Pesto

Bärlauchpesto

This variation of classic Italian pesto uses wild garlic (ramps) and has rapidly gained popularity in Germany. Serve with cooked meats, pasta, or anywhere you'd use the classic pesto.

Course Condiment, Side Dish

Keyword Pine nuts, Ramps

Servings 4

Ingredients

• 3 tbsp grated parmesan or favorite artisan cheese
• 2 tbsp pine nuts
• 1/4 cup cold-pressed rapeseed oil (Rapsöl or canola oil)
• 3 oz wild garlic ramps, Bärlauch
• salt
• pepper

Instructions

• Thoroughly rinse wild garlic leaves, drain well and chop coarsely.
• Add the leaves, the oil, pine nuts, and cheese to a mixer or food processor and mix until the ingredients come together in a smooth paste.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  
  
  Here is the link if that works better for you and you can explore more recipes on the site too.

  I would say you can take out the pine nuts if you are allergic and add something else.  If you are not allergic to nuts, give it a try. 
  
  
  When I do make this and when I make this, I will post about it with pics.
  
  
  Thanks for reading and have a great weekend! 

Mini Cream Cheese Flower Tarts

Normally, I have posted about healthy foods but I have a sweet tooth as well. So here is a recipe if you would like to try it.

I do think it's okay to have some sweets even if you are trying to eat better. You may not think the same as I do and that is okay.

It can be hard to give up your favorite foods or snacks when trying to eat better.

They look delicious and something fun to make. Some advice, if you are using the oven, cook early in the morning or after dinner. The oven heats up and can merge the kitchen very warm on shot day. 

If you are having cool weather then you can make them anytime.

I know from experience and my grandmother that cooking with the oven on a hot day is not fun. Get it done early if you can.

Enjoy and have a great Wednesday!

Training for a 13k

I have been around, just not posting as much.

Lately, I am training for a 13k virtual race. I will not be running but walking and I need to get used to 13k.

The race is for charity and a great cause too. I love getting outside for walks and listening to music as well. 

Be right back....

I had to change clothes, getting ready for a walk around 8:30 am today.

The sun is out ad hope it's a warm 60 degrees out, I don't mind cool weather but it would be nice to have some warm weather too.

Hopefully, I can get more posts up. I did finish a show on Netflix that I can write about and have some recipes to are too.

Look for a post tomorrow, not sure I will post again today after my walk. I will start the pot itself and I think with blogger I can set a time for the post to post.

Alright, I need to log water intake and help my niece.

Have a great morning!

10 Make Ahead Breakfasts

It has been a while since I last posted, I think I will just stick to posting when I do and not commit to once a week. I have not been doing it once a week, very sorry for that.

I get emails from My Fitness Pal (an app to log food and I use it), some of the articles are very good and they have great ideas for lunch and dinner.

Today’s link is to making 10 Make-Ahead Breakfasts under 300 calories. You may already know some of them or have your own make-ahead breakfasts. 

I like to share these links in case someone is looking for something quick or needs inspiration or something new to try.

Here is the link: https://blog.myfitnesspal.com/10-make-ahead-breakfasts-under-300-calories/?utm_source=mfp&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=MFP_NewNormal_20210330_14D&utm_content=hero

The Apple Cider mini muffins sound great (I may make those next week), I also may try the 1-minute berry peanut butter smoothie. 

I’m not a sweet potato fan and not a big fan of oatmeal but may try the pumpkin pie oatmeal one (maybe)

Take a look, explore, or try something new, and have a beautiful day! ❤️

A New Recipe!

Sorry, I did not post yesterday, it completely slipped my mind, and I need to start putting reminders on my phone.

I almost took the whole day off today because I woke up tired. I went to bed early, instead, I got up and took a walk.

I have a recipe for everyone and it looks yummy. I will be making the double chocolate paleo banana bread tomorrow and will take pics to show you.

Here is the link for 5 ingredient smothered chicken:

It looks so good, I may have to try it soon too.

Today has been great overall, I am going to knit a little bit and watch something. Have a wonderful weekend!

Life

 Wow, it has been a long time since my last post! Not a lot has been going on, things are good in life along with the mental/health journey. 

Weight is coming off slowly, I am training for a 13k in May, today I walked 5k.

I do have a link to a recipe for you folks, I have not tried it but I hope to in the future. Also, I will apologize if this is a repeat link from another one of my posts. I should keep track.
