Eric and Adam's little garden patch is starting to produce in earnest. Today for lunch, Eric whipped up another batch of pesto and pasta - a lovely temptation for a mom who's trying to count carbs and calories. I was able to enjoy the smell, though, and it was divine!
Tonight for dinner, we decided to experiment with the rosemary that's now ready for action. This was the winning recipe, served with couscous and and grilled onions. We doubled the garlic and did not remove it as the recipe recommends, so beware of major garlic breath around the Hendey household.
Do you have a favorite recipe involving rosemary? I'd love to hear your recommendations! And next week, I'll probably be talking about zucchini and squash because we're about to have a bumper crop!

New SQPN Video Series - Grace before Meals!
I absolutely LOVE the latest video series from SQPN.com. Grace Before Meals features Fr. Leo Patalinghug and the first four episodes of the series will feature "liturgically colored sauces". I'm not a cook, so I wasn't expecting to be as excited about this series as I am, but Fr. Leo makes cooking look fun. Enjoy episode one as Fr. Leo takes us grocery shopping for all of the key ingredients. I can't wait to see the next episode and am actually going to try Fr. Leo's recipes with my family. Check it out and help us spread the word about this next best thing from SQPN.
