🐿️ What’s Your Spirit Animal?
Your spirit animal is a fun and symbolic way to reflect the values and traits you hold dear. For example:
- 🦋 Butterflies = Transformation
- 🐈 Cats = Independence
- 🐬 Dolphins = Playfulness
- 🦅 Eagles = Freedom
So with spring greens just around the corner, I thought I’d share one of my spirit recipes—because yes, recipes can reflect our values too.
🥬 Kim’s Favourite Pesto Recipe: Versatile, Nutritious, and Freezer-Friendly
This homemade pesto recipe checks all the boxes for me:
✅ 1. It’s a green powerhouse
Leafy greens like kale, spinach, arugula, and Swiss chard are nutrient-rich and full of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
Pesto is a delicious way to eat more of them.
✅ 2. It’s freezer-friendly
Like any time-saving, squirrelly soul, I love a recipe that lets me batch cook and freeze for later.
This pesto freezes beautifully—hello, future-me dinners!
✅ 3. It’s ridiculously versatile
Use it as:
- Pasta sauce (obviously 🍝)
- Sandwich spread (think brie melt)
- Pizza base (try goat cheese, mushrooms & arugula)
- A marinade or drizzle for grilled meat, fish or poultry
- Stir into mayo for a pesto aioli for fondue or seafood
✅ 4. It’s forgiving and flexible
You don’t need a specific set of ingredients:
- Any leafy greens
- Any nuts or seeds (pine nuts, pumpkin seeds, almonds…)
- Any hard, flavourful cheese (like aged cheddar or Gruyère)
Mix, match, and use what you have on hand.
✅ 5. It’s delicious (#MakeHealthyDelicious)
Yes, it tastes that good.
Because healthy eating should never feel like a punishment.
