Yesterday, I made a very yummy eggplant pesto. It was sooo good, I have to share the recipe. I give you...
Roasted Eggplant and Spinach Pesto
Ingredients:
1 medium eggplant
1/8 cup whole almonds
3 cloves garlic
2 cups packed spinach leaves
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
Juice of one lemon
Splash of olive oil
Salt, to taste
Roast your eggplant in a 400 degree oven for 30 minutes while your almonds soak, completely submerged in water. Once the eggplant has cooled, scoop out the flesh and discard the skin. Drain the almonds. Combine all of the ingredients in your food processor and process away to puree the ingredients. Use as a sauce for pasta, a spread for toast, or toss potatoes in it before roasting. The options are endless. What a nutritious, yummy sauce!
Try it out and let me know what you think!

Last show you watched…
I don't watch much TV, I seriously turn it on once or twice a week, but I did watch Dolphin Tale from Netflix last night. What a sweet story. Not my typical movie, but a good one nonetheless. I recommend it!
