Pesto Ratatouille

I love traditional ratatouille, but this pesto version has inched its way to the top in my book.  As the pine nuts in the pesto toast, the flavor intensifies and totally makes this dish addictive.  I could…and have…eaten the entire thing in one sitting.  No regrets.  Also, can we also talk about how beautiful it…

Thai Curried Roasted Cauliflower Soup
