Tonight at 6, we just started wondering about what was for dinner. Jack's been under the weather the last couple of days so I didn't want to just make anything - I wanted to see what he felt like. He decided he could do Pasta, so I agreed. I went out to the garden to get some tomatoes for a salad and some basil for the sauce. Our Basil is amazing - due to our heat wave - its really been taking off. We're usually so cool that we don't get huge basil plants. Anyway - I picked a whole branch and headed in. I didn't really feel like tomato sauce. So I decided I'd make pesto for me and mix the pesto with some tomato sauces for Jack and Megan. I had Jack pick some more tomatoes so I could mix them in with the pesto and pasta for me - and wow - so yummy. Jack and Megan gobbled up their dinner to so I think we had a winner. I have a whole jar of pesto in the fridge left over too - yum

I love picking fresh from the garden and cooking incredible food on a moments notice.
