Green Pea Pesto

For dinner tonight, Mom and I made Green Pea Pesto... YUM!!!  It's soo yummy.

Yes, you read that right.

Green Pea Pesto.

It's a recipe my good friend Brittany taught me to make last week while my parents were gone.  Audrey liked it so much that she kept telling us how much she liked it every five seconds!  Well, that's what it felt like.

Green Pea Pesto is pesto made with green peas instead of basil.  It has a creamy texture and is good for spreading on crackers, bread, and pasta.  I like it best on saltine crackers with some chopped tomatoes on top.

After dinner, Dad took Audrey, Aiden, and me to Provo Beach Resort.  There, we rode the carousel... again.  On the carousel, Aiden rode his favorite animal... an elephant!!!  It matches! A big animal for a chubby kid! :)  Audrey rode a white horse with a long, brown, wind-swept mane and a blue and pink saddle and harness.  Here I am on my horse:

After our little ride on the carousel, we had ice cream.  Well, Aiden didn't get any.  So sad.  Too bad.  Instead, he got candy.  What a bummer to be allergic to milk...  I got one scoop of strawberry ice cream in a cake cone; Audrey chose one scoop of bubblegum ice cream in a bowl.

Green Pea Pesto Recipe:

2 cups frozen green peas, thawed
1 clove garlic
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
1/3 cup olive oil

Combine the peas, garlic, salt, pepper and parmesan cheese in a blender or food processor and process until smooth.

Continue blending and slowly pour in olive oil until really smooth and creamy.

Note:  You can leave out the parmesan if you are allergic to milk, but it seriously makes it taste way better!

Seriously, I LOVE this stuff!!!  Thank you for making really big containers, Costco!

Here is my very green dinner.  Maybe I'll have to make this again for St. Patrick's Day!

See, it even matches my shirt!!!

Question of the day:

Where is the coolest carousel you have ever seen or ridden?

Mine?  The Dr. Seuss carousel in Universal Studios, Orlando.
