Garden Pesto

We had many wonderful meals while everyone was here and most of it had elements of fresh vegetables from the garden.   I decided to make a garden pesto with some of the fresh carrots, onions and herbs.  Once combined, I kept it in the fridge and we started using it on EVERYTHING!

Here are just a couple of the recipes created with our Garden Pesto!

Garden Pesto Cream Cheese Log
I always put out a little something to nosh on while the grill is going and with all the wonderful onions, carrots and herbs from the garden, I decided to make a pesto.  Not a typical pesto with pine nuts, etc. but more just the fresh herbs chopped up with onion and garlic.    Then all I did was add it to a log of cream cheese and top with some red bell pepper - VOILA!   A lovely pre-dinner noshing appetizer.

Flank Steak Fajitas
We also have been in a fajita obsession as of late.  It's such a nice and easy lunch or dinner option and also a good use of steak leftovers if you have them.   We grilled a Lowfields Beef flank steak and sliced it thinly.  Then added it to a flour tortilla along with our Garden Pesto, cheese, avocado and tomato.  DELICIOUS!
