A Vampires Friend-lol-Cilantro Pesto with LOTS of Garlic!

Ok, so I goofed around it the kitchen today, cooking for one is not fun while the boys go fishing! (Boo)! BUT-Alas-I created something super yummy....Cilantro Pesto


Here it is Quick and easy, just how I like it!






In a food processor add the following: (eye balled measuring)


1 Cup Cilantro tightly packed (leaves and/or stems)1/2 Cup of Raw Almonds
2-4 Cloves of Garlic-depends on HOW garlic-ee you like your food
1/2 tsp. of Salt
Blend until fine...mine was chunky at first, but I reblended, add about 1/4 cup of Olive Oil, Blend again! blend until smoothe!


I placed about 2 T of Pesto in the bottom of a bowl, then added HOT pasta to the top of it, so it would spread easily. Stir pasta and mixture together and eat! Store leftovers in a glass jar!Super good for you and healthy!

The Almonds provide a small amount of protein, High in Vitamin E, Folate, Magnesium & Potassium.
Garlic provides Vitamin C, Potassium-Aids in Heart health and Cancer prevention - Keeps vampires and certain friends away too!
Cilantro has almost ZERO calories, high in Vitamin K for blood and Vitamin A for skin and eyes!
Olive oil has essential fatty acids in it, PLUS the fat in olive oil is a healthy fat AND it keep you feeling full longer!
