Fresh from the Garden - Pesto

From Jenny Also Cooks

I love going out into my backyard and picking food to cook with. It is an indescribable feeling, and tastes so fresh! I made pesto with three kinds of basil - one was purple, and then topped the pasta with fresh cherry tomatoes. Delicious. I'll have a lot of basil to experiment with as the summer goes on, but this time around I just used this basic recipe from AllRecipes.com.

Fried "Chicken"

From Jenny Also Cooks

Oh the things vegetarians or almost-vegetarians miss out on! Then I came across this recipe for Fried Quorn Naked Chikn Cutlets, and I was pretty excited. Who doesn't want a substitute for fried chicken? These are vegetarian, not vegan, because the chicken substitute is made from egg whites and mycoprotein (mushroom fungus!!), and the batter uses buttermilk.
