Kim: Pesto & Walnut Risotto

I was thinking of making this for a crowd when we host my niece's post-wedding lunch, but have opted for something less filling to serve with the lasagna. But I made enough to have for leftovers. I think it needs more pesto to get that green sheen and a bit of salt (low sodium stock may be good for you but it leaves the risotto a little bland). The recipe is from the Silver Palate gals - The New Basics Cookbook - which I don't use a lot because the recipes can be rather time consuming. Risotto always takes time but it's easy.

May 4 - That pesto again! This time on peasant bread with slices of chicken breast. Yellow tomatoes on the side.

Looking for ways to use that pot of pesto from last summer 

(with rosemary sweet potatoes and grilled peppers)

Kim: Potato Gnocchi

The penultimate pot of pesto (from summer 2009) went on my potato gnocchi. The pears were juicy; the tomatoes so-so.
