Cilantro Pesto
-2 large bunches of cilantro
-2 inch piece of parmesan
-olive oil (anywhere from 1/4-1/2 cup)
-juice of 1/2 a lemon
-shake or 2 of red pepper flakes
- handful of nuts/seeds (this time I used pistachios but you could use walnuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, etc)
-dash of safe dijon (we like maille)
-salt & pepper to taste
whir that all in a blender or food processor until quite smooth adding more oil if needed
My hubby has an allium allergy (onions, garlic, leeks, etc.) so instead of the dijon you could absolutely use garlic.

I’m definitely going to try this. I love cilantro, and appreciate that you listed some nut alternatives (tree nut allergy, here!). Thanks for sharing your recipe!

Brief Description: We recently bought a new house with a terrible kitchen. we plan to remodel in 5 years, until then I need to be creative. I needed veggie storage. So I made a hammock with alternating square knots. I tried to take a picture under the cabinet I’m using it, but it was too dark. I have it hung with big cup hooks & it works great. (better than in the photo)

Project Name: Exchange Valentines
Project Link: Leslie Knope-Inspired Valentines (Or Lettuce Craft, You Beautiful, Talented, Brilliant, Powerful Musk Ox)
Brief Description: For the Handmade Valentine Card Exchange, I created some Parks & Rec inspired cards. This included cutting out and folding the cards from cardstock, making masterboards and cutting them into hearts, assembling the cards, adding the sentiments, and making some calendar page envelopes to send them in. (I’m counting all of these elements toward the time requirement for the Big Time.)
Project Photo(s): Here’s a shot of the final cards; I can add photos of the masterboards and envelopes if required.

Brief Description: I, along with some of the other ladies in my church, made these blankets as part of packages that are going to moms who have recently lost their infants. Some of the babies will be buried in these blankets. It’s very sad, but hopefully, they will feel some compassion from us. I made these 20 blankets. I think there were about 80 made in all.
