Oatmeal, peas and mint.

Hello Friday Eve!

Just wanted to get a quick post in before another busy Summer weekend.

In my last post I mentioned the bread machine taking up all of my counter space.  I had been working on an oatmeal loaf and it's taken me almost an entire week to work it into our menu!

A bread machine is such a wonderful invention.  I pulled this rolled oat recipe from Allrecipes - quick and easy.  3.5 hours later I have a lovely smelling house and a warm loaf of bread.

Tonight I made a sweet pea and mint pesto.  I was able to use mint from our own garden, which is pretty great for someone who can barely keep a cactus alive.

Pea & Mint Pesto - mix the first 6 ingredients in a food processor. Slowly add the oil and continue to blend for 1 - 2 minutes.

  • 10 oz peas, cooked
  • 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/3 cup olive oil

Easy, simple and yummy!
