basil/baby spinach pesto

i made a small batch of basil/baby spinach pesto tonight. made from 100% local ingredients!

my pesto "recipe" (i don't actually measure any of the ingredients for pesto, just blend to taste):

1 handful basil (i had a handful of baby spinach from thinning my garden, so i threw that in too)
3 garlic cloves
1/4 cup hemp seed oil
3 tbsp hemp seeds

the result:



i like to freeze things like pesto in ice cube trays. once frozen, i remove them and put them in a container or reusable plastic ziplock bag. then, when i want to prepare something that requires pesto as an ingredient, i can take out exactly the right quantity with no fuss.

pineapple-raspberry popsicles

i used the raspberries i picked from the garden today to make pineapple-raspberry popsicles :D

i blended a few handfuls of clean berries with a cup or two of pineapple juice, then froze them in molds. i'll take a photo soon and add it to this post.
