Mondays I always struggle to not want to eat and graze all day.  I have no idea why but that really is how Mondays and today was no exception. The cold weather does not help, you just need to stay warm and eat warming things.

So today for lunch we had tomato soup spiced up with a little chipotle and I heated some corn bread we had frozen when we made it the other week.  The corn bread went so nicely with the soup that it really made me smile and all of the chilli could not help to make me feel warmer.

Tonight I wanted to try a new recipe I had seen in the Waitrose magazine which was kale pea and walnut pesto.  It needed a little tweaking but it was absolutely delicious.  Now part of that could have been because any home made pesto is nicer than shop bought, or because I just love peas?  Either way it was utterly delicious. It was very green and felt healthy in some odd way and will definitely be a recipe we repeat.
