Summer on a plate

Now this meal was freaking awesome. Fresh tomatoes, onions and basil ( T and O from C.S.A. box, basil from my parent's garden), beets generously supplied by my mom and then ravioli with pesto and greenbeans. YUMMY. It was even better b/c we really didn't have any food in the house so it seemed sort of miraculous that this came together so easily and was so good.

Ravioli with pesto and greenbeans: I put a bag of frozen mini ravioli on to cook and then tossed the trimmed green beans into the water with them. Tossed with the dregs of my last batch of pesto and added some fresh parmesan. Verdict: Everyone loved it. NO LEFTOVERS!

On a sidenote: Sydney did not eat the beets although she did manage to stain her little fingers pretty well. She also would not touch the tomatoes. HOWEVER, later that evening while helping me water the plants she consumed every single cherry tomato off of my plants... red AND green.
