Roasted Vegetable Salsa

Super easy salsa recipe – the results were sweeter than expected, with lots of depth. This was a clean-out-the-fridge recipe, so vegetables can be adapted pretty easily depending on what you have on hand.

Quick Pesto Cream Sauce With Peas and Turkey Bacon

I wanted a quick sauce to go with the frozen whole wheat ravioli I made last night. This was inspired by my general sentiment that peas, pancetta and cream taste good together, but in a much more makeshift form. NOTE: I used “Fat Free Half and Half” and do not recommend it – it [...]
