In this classic version of pesto, the basil leaves are blanched in boiling water, then quickly shocked in ice water, to give the sauce a brilliant green hue and to reduce any bitterness.
With its sweet cider sauce, this sodium-reduced dish is full of flavour. If you have leftover polenta, form it into cakes and fry them up for a quick side dish to go with your morning eggs.
Some might argue the point, but they'd be wrong: There simply is no more delicious combination than salted peanuts, smooth vanilla ice cream and rich chocolate.
Milkshakes are occasionally a favorite treat for our weekly date nights. (Ice cream is an essential food group, right? At least the *real stuff* is.) :)
