Presto Pesto!

This week I made pesto with fresh basil from my garden.  Basil is an herb that grows abundantly on the east end this time of year, and pesto is a perfect recipe to use it for.  There are so many things you can use pesto sauce for, some of which I'll include here, and the best thing is pesto can also be frozen in small zip-lock bags to be enjoyed throughout the year, long after summer has ended and your basil has died.  I followed this basic pesto recipe:
http://afewshortcuts.com/2012/07/homemade-pesto/

The first night I added the pesto sauce to thin spaghetti, added 4 cut up grilled sweet Italian sausages, and 1 grilled red pepper.

A few nights later I made a White Pesto Pizza!

Ingredients:

1 tube of Pillsbury thin pizza crust

1/2 cup of ricotta cheese

2 tablespoons of olive oil

2 tablespoons of pesto sauce

1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese

4-6 slices of thinly sliced prosciutto

2-3 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.  Grease a cookie sheet and unroll the pizza dough onto it. 

Cook the crust for 5 minutes, the take it out to add other ingredients.

2.  While crust is initially baking, mix ricotta cheese, olive oil, and pesto in a bowl.  When the 5 minutes are up, take the crust out, spread the ricotta mixture on.  /Next sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan. then tops with torn pieces of prosciutto.  

3.  Bake in the oven for 12-14 minutes, until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.  The pizza doesn't always look that pretty, but it's so good!

Finally another recipe which I'll be trying for the first time next week, comes from a good friend of the East End Mommies, Michelle Kelly.

Oven Roasted Pesto Potatoes

Michelle adds about 1/4 cup of pesto sauce to 4 cut up potatoes.  After she thoroughly mixes this, she spreads the potatoes in a baking dish, drizzles with some olive oil, then roasts the potatoes for 35-40 minutes in a preheated oven at 350 degrees. 

Any other ideas what to do with pesto?  Please let us know and we'll include your recipe on the blog!

It’s mommy’s time to play! Finding time to workout...

It’s mommy’s time to play!  Finding time to workout...

Before we had kids, lets face it we had all the time we needed to conquer the world.  Fast forward to the present, now you’re a mom and nothing will ever be the same!  

As moms we tend to put ourselves, our needs, and even our health on the back burner.  There is always something that has to be done with the children, the house, or our significant other. In time our lives will be harder to keep up with if we do not have the energy and stamina to keep up the pace our lives require.

So, its mommy’s time to play!  Working out does not have to be work.  I know for me personally, working out is an outlet.  I feel so good about my body, and I have a great time doing it.  My children see me taking care of myself and it sets the example for them  that they need to be good to themselves.  Now you may be wondering, how do I find the time to workout as a mom of 7 children.  It isnt always easy, but I get it in however and wherever I can.  I use my environment such as chairs, cans of soup, and yes even my 6 month old son!  I workout during naps, when the kids are playing on their own, and just whenever I can get a quick set in.  To be honest my favorite and most effective ways of working out are doing it in a group setting with other moms who also have children (the kids think its play time for them but it really is a mommy trick for time for me!) and doing workouts with my children.  My 6 yr. old daughter loves dancing so we Zumba, and they all love yoga so we break out the mats!

Being a mom does not mean you have to give up you.  Taking care of yourself is one of the greatest lessons you will ever teach your children!  

Stay tuned for some quick easy to do workouts!

Top Weekend Picks for July 12th-14th

I am writing to you from Bethany Beach, Delaware this week.  We are enjoying time with my family and having a little summer vacation.  Bethany Beach is a fabulous family seaside town, and not too far from Long Island.  I will do a write up of our vacation soon.
