Spinach Pesto Spread

I LOVE pesto. And this spinach pesto is yum. The first time I made it, it was perfection.
Ingredients:
a bag of baby spinach
a bunch of basil (just the amount that it comes in fresh)
2-3 cloves of garlic
2 Tbl pine nuts
salt/pepper to taste
olive oil

 The first thing to be done is to blanch the spinach and basil. To blanch put them in boiling water for about 20 secs then put right into ice water. This recipe isn't an exact science. I added the ingredients a little at a time in the food processor.  The oil should be added until it becomes a mayo consistency. ENJOY!!!

Chicken Pesto Sandwhich

This is one delicious sandwhich/panini! And this is a good way to yummify frozen fries!

Ingredients:
Pesto (from the recipe below)
fire roasted red bell peppers (bought ours in a jar)
grilled chicken
cheese (I like Pepper Jack, or Havarti)
bread (buttered on outside)

Directions:
Spread pesto on both pieces of bread, layer chicken and peppers and cheese. Place on panini maker, or we just put it on the George Foreman (where we also grilled the chicken) until it becomes nice and crisp and golden brown.

The fries:

Take the fries (I prefer regular string fries) and sprinkle with garlic salt and parmesan cheese and cook for normal time. When they come out add more of the Parmesan cheese. (Not freshly grated)
