Are your MUFA's Low? Celebrte the Holidays




Well we don't have a current holiday going on and I don't have a project to show--yet so I am showing you a yummy recipe--and you can do the same--show whatever you are working on or what's cooking in the kitchen till everyone gets a little settled this week, after the Holidays.


Olive Pesto Pasta

8 oz of Spaghetti, Vermicilli, etc  cooked accrding to the directions -- DO NOT ADD SALT TO THIS
HINT**  I always add in about a TBSP of olive oil while my pasta is cooking to keep it from sticking together.
1 can of whole black olives, drained
1 jar of green olives, drained
1/4 tsp of crushed garlic
2 TBSP of olive oil


While your pasta is cooking I use an electric nut grinder to turn my olives and olive oil into a pesto.  Mix everything together.  you can serve this hot or cold.




I cooked chicken breast to serve with this and will serve a salad with it.


This is a quick and easy and oh so yummy meal.

  2. That sounds good! I should have posted the cake I made for New Years. Darn. I've never attempted making any kind of pesto, I need to try!

  3. Hi Cheri! Nothing of my own to share this week either but that looks delicious! :)

    I think you need to fly north to visit me - there's a foot of snow. On second thought, I'll come and visit you with NO snow. haha

    Have a great rest of the week!

  6. Cheri, that sounds so good! I have never made pesto either, but my little Avery loves black olives! Remember my post where she had one on each finger? She would love this recipe! I will have to try! Have a wonderful day and thanks for sharing!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE reading each and every comment. Thank you so much for stopping by for a visit. I wish I could sit and chat with each of you face to face, sipping on an ice cold lemonade (in the hotter months) or a nice hot cup of coffee (in the colder months), getting to know each other but this is fun too.
