Day 15....quick. simple. lovely.


Last night, we had my son's school play to attend after work. I needed to make something quick and simple. I've had so much tofu in the past week, that I decided to mix things up a bit. I opted to cook up a plate of cheese ravioli with pesto and toasted pecans and fresh asparagus and grape tomatoes cooked on the grill. The result was quick, simple and lovely. My plate was bursting with bright flavorful colors and freshness. Once I have a bumper crop of basil within the next month or two, I'll whip up my own pesto. But in the meantime, I always have a packet or two of Knorr Pesto Mix. Very simple and quick: mix it with water and olive oil, bring it to a boil and you've got a really great sauce for pasta, pizza and dips.

I love this warm time of year for grilling. I've got mine conveniently located right outside the kitchen door along with some herbs. I am so looking forward to playing around with different marinades for portabello mushrooms and vegetables. I might even try my hand at tofu and vegetable skewers. Hmm....makes me wonder if polenta slices can be put on the grill....
