Happy New Month Lovelies! It's August! We survived the beginning of the second half of the year and here we find ourselves in another new month. I know I haven't been posting a lot but I promise this new month brings with it new delicious recipes that you will enjoy. So I was racking my brain trying to find a bit of inspiration for this new month and I thought why not make it a theme month! So the idea was born to create recipes for a whole month using the same ingredient to cone up with different dishes. The first thing that came to mind were Avocados. I love this fruit and I would put it on any food from bread, to rice, to eggs to even salads. Avocados are so versatile, who knew you could make so much with such a humble fruit? So my theme for this month is #AvocadoAugust! So excited for what I have in store for you guys! I'll be posting every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Yeah I know, such a huge commitment but letting you guys know will somehow make you to be my responsibility partners . And also I want you guys to know which days to look forward to for new recipes. So to start us off on this #AvodacoAugust month is Pesto! You guessed it, Avocado Pesto. I had never made Pesto before so I am excited to share with you my recipe that I used peanuts instead of the traditional cashew nuts. You can roast your own peanuts or buy the ready roasted ones. If you're allergic to peanuts you can totally leave them out, the avocado is rich enough on its own. What ingredients have you guys added to your pesto to make it that much more delicious? Looking forward to sharing the best that is Avocado recipes. Cheers to the new month and cheers to good food made real good!
