I had been adding recipes for a while to a new cookbook so I could find them when I wanted to cook them. In the electronic age, a digital version seems to make more sense, since I can add, amend, advise, adjust, delete, and reconsider as often as I want to and you can access them if and when you please. I've included the recipes from both my original cookbook which many of you have, and additional accumulated recipes that never got published. This isn’t the latest thing or nouvelle cuisine. These recipes are comfort food, good memories, treasured family recipes, and occasional treats as well as many healthier recipes I've grown to like in recent years. I encourage you to add comments, pictures, and favorite recipes to make this a real family cooking spot. It's the next best thing to sharing a meal.

Arugula Pesto

3 cups arugula
1 cup flat leaf parsley
1/2 cup cashews
1 clove garlic
3 Tbsp. Meyer lemon juice
1/4 cup hard cheese, such as Parmesan, Romano, etc. 
1/2 cup olive oil

Combine garlic and cashews in a food processor, add arugula, parsley and lemon juice. Puree while adding the olive oil to form a paste, then add the cheese and blend well. Use pesto with pasta dishes, pizza, add to cream cheese, dress up new potatoes, spread on garlic bread, add to steamed veggies, fantastic on grilled fish!
