Mint Pesto & 3rd Quarter Comebacks



How fitting that the pesto I mentioned in my last post turned out so green!



Perfect to snack on while cheering for the Celtics in Game 4.

And what a game it was! Celts overcame a 24-point deficit to beat the Lakers....in L.A.!!!

Was inSANE and exciting. That is, until last night when the Lakers came back to make the series 3-2. No worries, the final two games will be in Boston.

This recipe made a decent amount of pesto, so we might still have some to snack on for Game 5. The golden raisins and cream cheese made this pesto really sweet - definitely interesting. We decided it would make a wonderful spread on a whole wheat cracker, topped by a little smoked salmon to off-set the sweetness. Also would be great to use as a spread or mayo substitute on a grilled chicken sandwich. Again, I think any sort of smoky meat would be intensely complimentary to the sweet spread.

Yum.

Oh, and I did use fat-free cream cheese, and the consistency was just fine, indeed!
