I made Chicken with Balsamic Fig Sauce last night, a recipe I got from FSIL Katie, (future-sister-in-law) who got the recipe from Cooking Light Magazine. In one word I would say that it was DE-LISH. I also made caramelized brussels sprouts with toasted Hazelnuts. It was a good evening.
Tonight I made pesto. It was sort or an improvised recipe that went something like this:
-1 cup packed basil leaves
-4 or5 Tablespoons pine nuts
-3 cloves garlic (but you could use 2, I like garlic)
-little less than 1/2 cup olive oil(I think I would have been safe with 1/3, it was pretty oily)
-1/2 shredded Parmesan cheese
Toss it all into a food processor and chop until smooth. Pesto freezes pretty well, so I plan to make some more tomorrow to freeze. (I couldn't find basil in a small pack, so I have enough to make probably 3 more batches).
An update on Brock's beer: after letting it sit at 60 degrees for a week after bottling, we popped the beer in the fridge this weekend and tried it today. Congratulations Brock! It's delicious.
I'll be trying a new recipe for banana-blueberry muffins later this week, I'll keep you posted...
