Bueller....Beuller....Beuller...

Yes, I know. Don't remind me...I STINK at keep my blog updated. I guess on Julie and Julia is was much easier since the actors were being paid millions of dollars to do what I am attempting to do. So last night, Greg came home from work and since Mother Nature feels 100 degree temperatures are appropriate in July, we took a dip in the pool. We got to talking about my blog and cook book and I have gotten back on track and have committed once again to blog about my cooking. Despite not blogging, that doesnt mean I haven't been cooking.

Time to Catch Up...Chicken Pesto Presto

Ever do nothing...just absolutely nothing you know you should be doing? Prime example....me laying on the couch with my monkey (Vixen) watching Lifetime Movie Network and ignoring the pile of laundry, the empty pantry and the dust collecting on the the furniture...The next day I have to play catch up...cleaning, errands, the norm...Well, it's time for me to do just that...Catch up! Basically, I am going to post a bunch at once! Chicken Pesto Presto - cute name huh? (Thanks RR) This is a really yummy meal and so easy and quite healthy. It reminds me of the chicken my mom always gets at our favorite family restaurant, Arpeggio. So start with chicken breasts. Butterfly them so they look like you are opening a book. Sprinkle with S&P. Put a pot of water to boil on the stove. Add salt. In a food processor combine basil, garlic, parm cheese, S&P, garlic and some lemon zest. Steam in some EVOO. Voila - you made a pesto, minus the pine nuts. For me, they were too ...
