this is a blog about the food in my life. what I eat, what I wanna eat, what I make, what I bake, what I wanna make and bake, ideas and recipes. it's also my thoughts on food or stories behind the meals. The lyric references are from my lifelong love of classic rock and funk and from working a hunnerd years in music retail.

Something in the Way She Moves
A breakfast dish to consider if you want something light and you happen to have some leftover pesto. I know it's not a new idea but you can stretch your pesto out considerably by using chicken stock and just a bit of olive oil. Plus here I've used walnuts and arugula to replace the pricy pine nuts and basil. Different combos can add a huge bonus to different dishes, although the original is probably the best, truth be told. I love the lemon-peppery taste of arugula though, so for me, this works just fine.
I laid two poached eggs on top of a big dollop of pesto and topped with some fresh baby spinach. You can dress it with a little lemon and olive oil, s&p.
Something about how those creamy egg yolks flow down upon that tangy green sauce....I need a minute.
