| Buttermilk blueberry breakfast cake (Alexandra's kitchen). I made a few changes- half whole wheat pastry flour, half applesauce instead of all oil, and I made an oat-topping to sprinkle on the top before baking. This is an awesome recipe, and it makes so much that we eat it for two days. Mmm. |

| Breakfast: Blueberry breakfast cake and fresh peaches. |

| Basil and walnuts in the food processor, about to be... |
 |
| Pesto! I love, love, love that I picked the basil leaves right off the plant and within 20 minutes we were eating them as dinner. This pasta salad was "wacky mac shapes" (I let my daughter pick it out at the store) with homemade pesto, chunks of fresh mozzarella, and a handful of grape tomatoes from the garden. This was YUM. |

| Dinner: Pesto pasta salad and fresh strawberries. Btw, here's my recipe. In a food processor, combine 2 c. well-packed basil leaves and 1/4 c. chopped nuts (pine nuts or walnuts). Pulse till shredded, then add 2 cloves of garlic, 1/2 c. olive oil, 1/2 tsp. kosher salt, and 1/4 tsp. ground pepper, and pulse again. Add 1/2 c. grated Parmesan cheese, and pulse until smooth, pushing down as needed. If you’d like to freeze this in a jar for later use, don’t add the cheese until it’s been thawed and you’re ready to serve it. |
