Friday Night Dinner Ideas {with pesto} | Fig and Cherry

Posted on August 10, 2012 by ChristieDinner Ideas





Last week I started a new weekly feature called Friday Night Dinner Ideas.


Iand#8217;ve been thinking about it all week. About how to make it even better than a bunch of random meal links. And I came up with a solution and#8211; add a theme! Isnand#8217;t a theme a fantastic fix for so many things in life?


This week itand#8217;s pesto. Thereand#8217;s a few ideas from me and some from my blogging friends. Feel free to play along by leaving your pesto-themed meal links in the comments!


Idea #1 above: Roasted beetroot with vegan coriander pesto. This is lovely served on top of roasted Portobello mushrooms or as a side to grilled chicken or fish.



Idea #2: Pepper crust beef fillets with pesto veggie skewers. Get hubby to fire up the BBQ while you throw together these easy skewers. Team work!



Idea #3: Asparagus and edamame soup with rocket pesto from the fabulous blog: My Darling Lemon Thyme. If you have not checked out Emmaand#8217;s gorgeous and healthy recipes, then today is the day!



Idea #4: Spaghetti Al Pesto from the wonderfully creative and talented Sneh at Cook Republic. Bonus recipe: If you are looking for a quick dip to rustle up with drinks before dinner then you must try her peanut and yoghurt pesto and#8211; it is absolutely divine!


Have a great weekend guys!
