    Guess what guys...I'm still on a pesto kick. I mean, do we really want it to end? I could find a way to put pesto on just about anything.

    Today we are switching things up and we're bringing back an old TSV recipe - Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto. This is a chunky pesto filled with fresh basil, garlic and of course, sun-dried tomatoes.

    Rather than add oil to this, we are just going to use sun-dried tomatoes that are packed in oil. Dump the whole thing in and you are good to go.

    To brighten this up even more, I also added fresh spring peas to the mix. You can use frozen, but if you can find fresh, do that.

    You could do lots of additions to this dish - stir in some spinach or arugula right before serving or add some vegan sausage or chicken. I've also been known to add a dollop of hummus to my leftovers to make it nice and creamy.

    Skys the limit people!
