I rushed home to make this tonight and WOW. My boyfriend literally did a dance. I added a few leaves of basil to the pesto, and I used a combination of pistachios, cashews, almonds, and pecans (it was all we had it the house that would add up to a full cup). I'm sad I didn't have any walnuts - will definitely try them next time.

Empty-the-fridge salad.

The frozen battered mahi mahi fillets are great for quick weeknight fish tacos. Yum.

My mom has been making this cake every Easter for as long as I remember. She uses rope licorice for the mouth and whiskers. I also remember her dying shredded cocount green to make "grass" to serve the cake on. I'll never forget the Easter that she put the bunny cake on the roof of the car as we were getting ready to go to my grandmother's house...well, you know what happens next. Poor bunny!
