Pesto Grilled Cheese

Well, I think we all knew that blogging was not my strong suit.  But, I have thought up one of our favorite recipes as of late that I haven't shared yet.  It was a recreation of one of my favorite lunch sandwiches at Dunn Bros in Mankato.  I'm not sure it is as good, but it's pretty close.

Pesto Grilled Cheese

Pesto:
Fresh basil leaves
Olive oil
1 clove of garlic

Directions:
Chop up your garlic
Pulse your basil leaves in a food processor or chop them up
Add your garlic and olive oil to the processor
Pulse until paste like consistency

Grilled Cheese:
Make a grilled cheese, but add pesto on the inside of both pieces of bread.  It's not hard.

Obviously, not my picture.  It's pretty delicious, and great with some soup for dinner or by itself for lunch.

Well, we'll see if I get to blogging more.  I do have a great bagel recipe I told Travis I would put up.  Otherwise, I don't get to cook much anymore.  Todd has, however, made a wonderful tortilla soup and chicken and wild rice soup the past few weeks.  Be on the look out for those!
