Forms Workout and Healthy Food Recipe

[suzanne sanders]

I am still on track with my forms workout   I was up the mountain early this morning and I did my workout. Sat and drank tea, listened to the most beautiful song birds, watched a humming bird and enjoyed the beautiful sun.  

Breakfast was organic pasta, organic eggs (ours) and sage pesto.  The sage pesto recipe has many healthy benefits and is really yummy.  It has parsley, cilantro and sunflower seeds in it.   

 

So far my morning  as been in chaos.  Sophia and I have been looking for goats this morning.  It seems to be the theme for the day. Need to change the energy of that one.  I have to much to do to keep looking for a baby goat who likes to sleep in secret places and makes humans worry she has been eaten by the big bad predator.  Lock down she goes.  

Onward to my list of farm chores and have tea time in the garden with my wonderful daughter 

Anyone up for a challenge?  I challenge you to make this recipe. 

SAGE PESTO

Basil is not the only herb that you can use to make pesto.  

There are so many varieties of pesto that you can make.  Lately we have been making a nettle pesto,a wild greens pesto (the wild greens were dandelion, plantain and yellow dock),    and today I made sage pesto.  The sage pesto was incredibly awesome.  I added the sage pesto to our pasta and eggs.    

For the garlic I used 3 garlic scallions and for the cheese I used raw organic cheddar.   

Anyone up for a challenge?  I would like to challenge you and your taste buds in making this wonderful recipe.  

 

This is a great recipe for a healthy, healing herb paste.  Sage dominates the flavor of this pungent, strong pesto.  You can use less sage fi you find it overpowering.  If you would like to add more healing nutrients try adding fresh wild herbs such as dandelion greens, chickweed, and plantain.
