I recently posted this lasagna on the Harbor Greens blog and decided it was way too delicious to not share it!!
Here's the link: Harbor Greens Blog 

Pesto Lasagna- pea and cilantro pesto, fresh noodles, plenty of cheese and layers of deliciousness!

 A few simple ingredients: pesto, mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, ricotta cheese and fresh lasagna noodles

 Mix 3/4 cup of pesto with 3/4 cup of ricotta cheese for the filling


 Brush the bottom of the pan (I used an 8X8) with olive oil so the lasagna doesn't stick. Layer the pasta with the pesto ricotta mixture and fresh peas followed a layer of mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese. Continue until the pasta is gone or you fill the pan. I got about 8 layers!

 Gooey cheesy goodness!


 so many good layers of pasta!

Pretty much the perfect dish for St. Patrick's Day!

NYC was awesome! We ate so much good food! Like literally the best dishes of my life! We walked a ton, rode the subway, used water taxis, rode on boats and explored everything which made Manhattan feel so small! We window walked down Madison Ave where the window displays are incredible! We even did a little shopping which I actually enjoyed! I got a new perfume from Anthropologie, coconut milk mango. It's divine! All in all it was such a fun trip! 

This little bakery in Chelsea Market had the cutest cookies! Kitty cookies!

Hippo cookies! 

We rode the Staten Island ferry one day so we could go past the Statue of Liberty! It was beautiful! I may have fallen alseep on the ferry ride at one point from being so tired :)

My occasional pregnancy indulgence! Don't judge! 

A super cute frenchie pup in the park! She was so friendly!

It amazes me how long the subway platforms are!

Here comes our ride!

Some seriously good pizza from Eataly! Ricotta and squash!

Yes, I love to travel and explore but I also love a good nap on a sunny deck! I came home to beautiful weather and a daughter who took a 3+ hour nap!!! After being gone for over a month it is nice to be home and the sun is sure an added bonus!

Travel!

It's been a busy few days!! Trevi, Brett and I flew home from Maui Tuesday evening. It was sad to leave and I was definitely keen to stay longer but I had to turn around. Head to NYC on Thursday morning at the crack of dawn (think waking up at 330am)

Maui
Kitty is all ready for the flight home from Maui! 

Hopefully her love for kitty will spill over to her new baby brother or sister!

Gig Harbor
Back in Washington and the rain. T was excited for her rain jacket! I love how resiliant 2 year olds are!

Walking into my 20 week dr appt! 

NYC 
Erica and I headed to NYC on Thursday morning for coffee fest. This will be my last show so I am thankful it's in NYC! One last girls weekend in the big apple!

Eating delicious homemade ravioli at Eataly! 

This beautiful building is smack dab in the middle of the city and it's a Home Depot of all things! 

City life is so interesting! 

Super cute pictures of food as animal and objects!  Look closely! 

Pictures of my girl while I'm away! Can't wait to get home!

We've had less than perfect weather for the last 3 days but it surely has not stopped the fun!!

We went for a little walk in Kaanapali!

She lingers, wanders and get side tracked but never seems to get toooooo far behind!

Yes, she wears her goggles everywhere!

Making a quick walk back before the rain
comes!

Daddy takes her in the waves in full clothes sometimes!

Flying baby!

Mid backflip!

Pool time!

These two are just too much!

Daddy took her swimming in the pouring down rain so I warmed her towel in the dryer and got to receive the post swim snuggles!
