So it's a Thursday and I don't work, my apartment is absolutely trashed and I have a sink full of dishes so in order to effectively procrastinate getting a start on that I decided to start something else I've been putting off, my blog. This is my first post so I guess a few things about myself would be appropriate, if the title wasn't obvious enough for you I am vegan and I love to cook so I started this blog to share my recipes, unlike many vegans my main concern is not the well being of those poor helpless chickens most of you consume, but my waistline. I chose a vegan life style to stay healthy and support my body of course I am horrified and disgusted by the mistreatment of animals, but it is not my driving inspiration, that's all I have to say for now, how about a recipe?
Deceptively Delicious Pesto
1/2 cup packed fresh basil
1 head broccoli
1/2 cup packed kale
1 cup packed spinach
4 spears asparagus (you can add more if you'd like but the flavor is tough to mask)
4 cloves peeled garlic
1/4 cup olive oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
Whiz everything around in a blender until it is desired consistency, heat in a small sauce pan and enjoy with your favorite pasta. Fresh, high quality ingredients are key in this recipe, especially the garlic and basil. Enjoy!
