SPAGHETTI W/PESTO

{from the Eat-Clean Diet}

{via}

Ingredients

• 1 lb / 454 g noodles (buckwheat or rice noodles)
• 3 quarts / 3 L water
• 1 tsp / 5 ml sea salt

Pesto Ingredients

• 3 cups / 720 ml fresh basil leaves
• 1/2 cup / 120 ml almonds, coarsely chopped
• 3/4 cup / 180 ml parsley
• 2 cloves garlic, passed through a garlic press
• 1/4 cup / 60 ml extra virgin olive oil
• Sea salt

Preparation

1. Bring water to a rolling boil. Add sea salt. Cook noodles al dente. Rinse under cold water to prevent clumping when cooking is complete. Place cooked noodles in large sauté pan or saucepan. Set aside.
2. Prepare pesto sauce by placing all ingredients in a food processor. Pulse until ingredients resemble a smooth paste. Scrape pesto out of food processor bowl and pour over cooked noodles. Over medium heat, toss noodles and pesto sauce until heated through. Serve hot.

Also, a big thank you to all who participate las week in {s}ww and stopped by to send love to others. You all are so sweet & make it a success. I'd rather have a few participants who show love & meet new friends than 1,000 that link, run and don't visit. Again, thank you! Xo


Friday is Recipe Swap Friday!! What'cha been cooking this week? Be sure to take pics of your next experiment & link up. I am thinking that next swap day, I may have it a HEALTHY swap. I had someone mention it to me and I thought that would be a great idea!

Bondi Band Review & Giveaway

Rebecca at Bondi Band has sent me a band to try and one to giveaway! I am so excited as I am new to the Bondi Band world. (I am a sweaty band girl) I honestly, don't sweat much on my face. [weird huh?] I just really need something to keep my hair out of my face.

Bondi Bands do that! [when you wear it the correct way, don't try to make it super tiny thin☺ someone I know did this, yours truly] I let mini-me try it out, as she is a much better candidate to put it to the test. [she sweats like a normal person] It does the trick! No sweat in her eyes. Very Very Cool. 

Rebecca also sent me a wicking sweat towel. I love this! I used it to wipe my neck, tummy & back after our run. It's the perfect size & does the trick well! FF&Ps girls give BB a 2 tumbs up!

Bondi Band also offers other products made in their stretchy breathable material:
wicking hats,ponytail hats, pigtail hats, neck gators and more.

To enter to win your very own Bondi Band headband: (your choice print)

MANDATORY:
Visit Bondi Band and let me know which headband you'd choose if you win.
