At Sweet C’s, I add lots of tips in all of my recipes – because I am a home cook without any formal training, and I find I am more confident making dishes when I understand why it works, and what each ingredient means to the flavor of a recipe – my goal is for even the most beginner home cook to feel empowered in the kitchen.
I want each reader to walk away with a solid knowledge of each recipe, with all of the tips I’ve gathered from extensive testing of each recipe. I also answer questions my friends and family have asked about my recipes, to help everyone better understand the processes we use – and why!
Easy Delicious Avocado Cashew Pesto
So at this point I’m going to make a confession – one of my biggest, deepest, darkest secrets. I don’t really like avocados.
I know, I know – what kind of person am I?? I mean, I was born and raised in Southern California and everything. Maybe all the later years in Colorado changed me- because I just don’t love avocados.
I’m fine with them *in* food though – and I know how good avocados are for a balanced diet full of omega 3 fatty acids. This pesto is SO full of flavor… both avocado freaks and avocado-phobes will LOVE it!
