From a mom who became an unlikely cook: A chronicle about what happens when I plan to cook something good just once a week. Our dog gives her "Paw Rating" based upon whether she tripped me by staying in the kitchen while I cooked.
My Chronicle
Attainable goals are the ones for me. Encouraged by our dog Spot and family eaters, I purpose to cook once a week and make it new and delicious. If I cook more often, I get more weeks off later on.

Almost My Daughter's Pesto
It's been far too long since I've posted. Not cooked, just posted. Moving in to our new home has taken more time, and then too there's been a lot of family fun. To get the ball rolling, I am making a version of my girl's pesto sauce. I planted my first container garden and most of what I planted was basil. It's flourishing! Until a few months ago, I seriously did not know my beloved basil was a main pesto ingredient! We'll nibble tonite and have it on a flatbread pizza in a few nights. Enjoy!
INGREDIENTS:
1 large, packed handful fresh basil
5 garlic cloves
1/3+ cup shredded parmesan
1/2 cup walnuts
Kosher salt and ground pepper to taste
Up to 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
STEPS:
1. Place all ingredient except EVOO in food processor and combine.
2. Slowly pour in EVOO until mixture reaches your desired consistency
Serve! Use on bruschetta, as a spread, on pizza, as a dip. Or just drink it.
Spot gives this 4 paws because she looooves the aroma.
