Some Nuts

I made the granola recipe from the Better Homes and Gardens cookbook, you know, the red gingham one? I can't find the recipe online to link to but if you don't have this cookbook you should get it! I don't think I've ever made a bad recipe from it. Anyway, the granola was super good (you saw that coming, right?). I didn't have wheat germ so I subbed wheat bran and left out sunflower seeds because I just didn't want to buy them. I did put in the optional coconut and used cranberries instead of raisins.  


This is a horrible picture of the pesto I made. It tasted pretty good but I didn't subject anyone else to it. My neighbor gave me some basil from her garden the other day and this was the first thing I thought of to make. It's a little untraditional because it's made with walnuts instead of pine nuts but I like it. I have lots of pesto leftover so I may try to make some paninis. What else can you do with pesto?
