Roasted Red Pepper Pesto

It has been quite a while since I’ve posted a recipe on here! Can you believe I made this pesto back in April and am just now getting around to blogging about it? I would like to blame work, but alas, I have been on summer break since early June. What a nice summer it has been, however. I’ve been reading, cooking, and (sometimes) working out. I’ve met with blogger friends and am so excited to meet two more soon! Abby and Suzanne, here I come! 😀

Now here is my recipe for red pepper pesto. It is soo good. I will confess to eating spoonfuls of it while I was taking pictures. Also, this recipe is a prelude to my next recipe. I’ll show you how I used this pesto once I get around to editing and writing up the post. Which I hope to by the end of this week! Wish me luck!! 🙂

Yes, eat this by the spoonful. I won’t judge. 😉

Bailey promises not to either. 😛
