Super fast sweet hearty pesto fun for a busy day dinner idea!

We all get to the same routine and can sometimes be on auto pilot in our lives and dinners. Small fun changes can brighten our day and make a crazy week more exciting. Me and Tom very much get into a routine and eat lots of the same things on weeknights. I had frozen broccoli in the freezer and decide tonight we are going to change up our pest routine. So I made broccoli pesto and we even ate it on the good plates. It was small change from basil but it really made a big difference to spice up our weekday! What other things can you do to change it up? Go for a walk after work, eat lunch outside, or watch a movie on a Wednesday! Comment below what you are going to change up and inspire everyone! Cheers to recipes that inspire and celebrate you!

Frozen broccoli! This is a culinary gift to busy days. I use frozen broccoli so there is no need to cut or blanch fresh broccoli. This saves me a good 20 minutes chopping and cleaning. Also, you can add the broccoli frozen to the blender. Cold broccoli helps keep the broccoli bright green!

You really do get paid to shop! I love:
