Love the peanut Pesto. Recipe seems to have a bit of a Thai flair? I think I’ll give this recipe a test run on a few pesto lovers who I know and see what the verdict is. Sounds like it will be a hit.

I used the mint in my garden to make a very refreshing summer soup made with yogurt and cucumbers. It is so easy, fast, and delicious.

We call it Mast-o-khiar and it is the perfect meal for hot summer days!

Peas and peanuts? My husband would love this.

I posted about pesto today to, but featured cilantro in one and roasted red peppers in the other.

Isn’t it great how versatile herbs are?

Fantastic recipe! Cranberry Grapefruit Salsa would be perfect for grilled fish or shrimp.

What a great idea! I have been cooking so much with fresh herbs this summer. One of my favorites is panko and feta zucchini pancakes (my husband prefers pancakes, I usually call them fritters). They use fresh dill, parsley, and scallions and are so amazing, we can’t get enough of them.

I’m excited to read the other entries. By the way, you wouldn’t want to be in Seattle today, it’s 101 degrees! We’re melting!

why does this sound marginally asian to me? peanuts…

This looks good – at leas it doesn’t have mayonnaise in it like the one the barefoot contessa makes -errrrr

To make it “Asian” I’d use a combo of cilantro and mint with the peanuts. I’ve got a recipe for that in the cookbook! ~jaden
