Barefoot Bloggers: Pasta, Pesto and Peas

I am so glad I decided to join the Barefoot Bloggers, had I not, this recipe is not one I would have made on my own. I have never really cared for pesto, so I was a little hesitant about making this recipe. I love everything that goes into it- fresh basil, nuts, Parmesan cheese [...]

Eat to the Beat! Peanut Butter Cup

Why do you build me up (peanut) butter cup, baby?
