This is a yummy, creamy version of standard pesto that makes a great spread for get togethers. Tastes great with pita chips or sourdough bread! Sun dried tomatoes may be mixed in for a zesty tang. Add crunch by coating the finished spread with almonds.

Roasted Sweet Potato, Black Bean, and Chorizo Breakfast Bowls
These breakfast bowls are a change from the usual and are loaded with various flavors and textures. Home- or store-made chorizo is best, but feel free to use your favorite brand. You may combine sweet potatoes, black beans, chorizo, and avocados before topping them with the egg. I like to top mine with cotija cheese, cilantro, and chipotle hot sauce.
Chef John's Cheesy Crackers
These crunchy, crispy crackers have a big, bold cheese flavor. They're vastly superior to anything you can get at the store. You can change up the cheeses and the spices. It's really a fun thing to play around with.
Butternut Squash and Spicy Sausage Soup
Fall is my favorite time of year because I can make this butternut squash and spicy sausage soup. It's filling and delicious! There are many ways to customize the ingredients to suit your tastes. Sometimes, I used flavored rice, depending on what I had on hand. Also, add more or less chicken broth to make the soup's thickness fit your liking.
