“Happiness is the object and design of our existence; and will be the end thereof, if we pursue the path that leads to it;
and this path is virtue, uprightness, faithfulness, holiness, and keeping all the commandments of God.”

Pesto, pasta, peas

Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto

This was very, very good. Fresh, light, and awesome. Try it.
I am not a fan of canned Sun-dried tomatoes, but when I saw a bag of dried tomatoes, I thought, "That's right up my alley."
[This link is the exact brand I bought, but I did not buy on Amazon  . . . wonder if that's a better price?]
(I don't like the extra stuff that's added to the canned variety).

At 5:00pm when I still didn't have a dinner plan, this is what I decided to make.

Changes:
I soaked my 3.5 oz bag of tomatoes in 2 cups hot water for about 7 min.
The recipe seems to have left out the amount of nuts--I used about 1/3 C of pine nuts.
Omitted garlic.
Used green onions instead of sweet. Green onions are my fave.

3 of my children liked it . . . I think they were the only 3 that tried it.

Served with sugar snap peas.
So good.
