Garden Herb Pesto Pasta 🪴 Even though we’re h

Garden Herb Pesto Pasta 🪴 Even though we’re halfway through September, I’ve been in a summer state of mind enjoying the sun + all the things our little herb garden has to offer 🌞 I’ve been leaning towards simple meals and this homemade pesto pasta is perfect for this season. I made this recipe for @puhtaastikotimainen last spring (you’ll find it in Finnish from their site) and it’s hard to beat homemade pesto once you get into it. You can go with only lots of basil, but I like to add parsley too for a bit of variety 🌿 Get the recipe below, and I hope you enjoy it!

Garden Herb Pesto Pasta 🌿

makes about 300 ml pesto / serves 6 to 8

400 ml tightly packed basil
300 ml tightly packed parsley
150 ml crushed walnuts
150 ml grated parmesan (or pecorino)
100–150 ml olive oil
3 tbsp lemon juice
salt and black pepper

+ spaghetti to serve

MTEHOD:

1. Measure herbs into a blender. Add all the remaining ingredients and blend on low to a rough paste. Add olive oil as needed. Transfer to a small container and let rest for a while.
2. Cook the pasta according to the instructions on the package. Drain, but leave about 1 to 2 tbsp of cooking water in the pot. Mix the pesto into the pasta. Serve and enjoy!

Pancake Cake 🥞🍒 This cake is definitely one

Pancake Cake 🥞🍒 This cake is definitely one of my favorites that I keep making year after year + it’s my go-to summer dessert.

Pancake Cake with Summer Berries 🥞🍓
#glutenfree

serves 6 to 8

Pancake:
400 ml gluten-free rolled oats
1 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp ground cardamom
a pinch of salt
3 eggs
750 ml oat milk
3 tbsp honey (or maple syrup)
2 tbsp butter (or coconut oil)

Filling + toppings:
whipping cream
mashed berries (or sugar free berry puree)
banana, sliced thinly
fresh berries

METHOD:

1. Measure the oats to a blender and pulse into flour. Add all other ingredients except the butter and blend until smooth. Pour into a large bowl and let the batter rest for 20 minutes. Preheat the oven to 425F / 225C degrees.

2. Cover a baking sheet with baking paper and add 2 tablespoons of butter to the baking sheet. Place the baking sheet to the warm oven for a few minutes, until the butter has melted. Pour the pancake batter to the sheet and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the pancake has a beautiful golden-brown color. Allow to cool. Prep the fillings in the meantime.

3. Cut the pancake into 4 to 6 equal pieces. Assemble the cake by piling pieces of the pancake, whipped cream, mashed berries, banana slices, and fresh berries on top of each other. Finish with lots of fresh berries, serve, and enjoy!

Plants are life 🌳 Ad @one_healthenv_eu || Wheth

Plants are life 🌳 Ad @one_healthenv_eu || Whether it’s eating a seasonal fruit, growing herbs in my kitchen, or eating wild berries straight from the bushes, I’m reminded of the wonderful life that plants are giving us everyday 🍒

Did you know that keeping plants healthy is vital to all of us? Plant pests and diseases can affect how much food is available and lead to economic, social, and environmental losses. Plants from outside the EU can contain pests or diseases that our local plants are not resilient to.

Small actions have a huge impact, and we can do our part in protecting plants easily:

🍊🙅🏼‍♀️ If you travel outside the EU, enjoy your plants, flowers, fruits, or vegetables there. Your travel snack or cute plant souvenir could be harmful to the plants in EU, as they might carry unknown viruses and bacteria.

Let’s keep plants healthy for our kids and future generations 🌻
