What the Pud!?

Well its getting cooler up here now. Maybe it will warm up again in the next few weeks. We sowed a few spinach, kale, and chard seeds. The chard we sowed a few weeks ago have grown very well and ready to be eaten, the spinach I believe got eaten by squirls. The second bunch of seeds we put into the ground, just to see how long we can keep them going under our mini green houses, or just over winter under some mulch, since that was successful the past winter.
Well to get to the point of this, my Little lady friend went out to help with a fundraiser for the Healing Horse Center at Boston Pizza, for their vet and hay bills. I went and got some groceries and made a mess in the kitchen. What mess did I make?
I made Chocolate Pudding mess, but not just any chocolate pudding, since the two Humans in the house are lactose intolerant.

3 Avacados - scooped out and pited
1/4 cup almond milk
1/2 cup of Honey (or to taste)
2tbsp of Peanut Butter (optional)
1/4 tsp of Salt
2 tsp Vanilla extract
1/2 cup of cocoa powder

put it all in the food processor mix until smooth, scraping the sides back into the mixture. Refrigerate and bam pudding.

Now this tastes good but don't be fooled its not going to taste like "regular" pudding, but if you have good ingredients it will taste good. But, thats just my opinion

Most of the ingredients.

All of the ingredients.

First try, Pesto!


Got bored on Monday (Labour day). So I tried my hand at making Pesto for the first time. After reading about how to store it, I found that most sites say to just put it in sterilized jars and freeze it. As "canning" water bath or pressure cooker, ruins the fresh taste of it.

After you put the pesto in the sterilized jars put a layer of olive oil on the top to cover pesto completely, make sure its nice and flat before hand makes it a lot easier, and less oil having to be used. Then just put a lid on it and freeze it for up to 6 months. So, I thought I should try it out. We don't eat a whole lot of it, but we had enough basil to make it, so I figured what the hey, I like it. I chose to use almonds instead of pine nuts, and it tastes like pesto still so not that big of a problem.
Loaded everything up in the processor 
just thought I would show you another.
Finished only made two small jars, looks like I will be making more in a months time I guess.
 Peace!
Have a good night
