Guest guest Posted January 9, 2009 Report Posted January 9, 2009 To me this sounds like heaven on a plate. 2 of my top 10 foods, potato and pesto.. Ya know how some people at " white " , meaning they only eat white foods, well I think I am a " P " person, eating lots of yummy " P " foods- peaches, pears (my 2 fav foods next to bananas), potatoes, pesto, pepper (most all kinds), pumpkin, pizza, pie (most all) pumpernickel bread... hmmmm... I wonder how that happened... anyone else? Could you make traditional mashed potatoes using pesto instead of butter and a splash of milk? Would the oil in the pesto be the binder that the traditional items are? This may be my weekend project (besides getting 2 weeks of laundry done, cleaning the bathrooms and floors, finishing the ballerina skirts I started for my daughter and my friends' daughters, getting the sandbox ready for an outdoor afternoon, etc... I am sure everyone is recovering from the holidays and starting their routines) Cassie --- On Fri, 1/9/09, Brad Dixon <bradh2guy wrote: Brad Dixon <bradh2guy Pesto Smashed Potatoes " Hummus " <hummus-and-pesto-recipes > Friday, January 9, 2009, 10:16 AM Pesto Smashed Potatoes 10 small to medium Yukon gold potatoes 1/4 c. olive oil salt and pepper to taste 1/2 c. pesto Wash potatoes, remove eyes, and cut in half.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2009 Report Posted January 9, 2009 Let's see I like a lot of " P " foods too. Pasta, potatoes, pinto beans, peaches, peanut butter, pretzels, pickles, but then again I like everything but a couple foods, like 3 or 4 Donna Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry Cassie Dixon <roxy87cabriolet Fri, 9 Jan 2009 17:19:03 Re: Pesto Smashed Potatoes To me this sounds like heaven on a plate. 2 of my top 10 foods, potato and pesto..
