Pesto!!!! it's not exactly PESTO as you would be used to, but it's my healthier take on it. i love it on chicken with a little bit of whole wheat pasta. add in some sauteed mushrooms!

2 c fresh basil leaves
1/4 c pine nuts, toasted
1 garlic clove
1/4 t kosher salt
1/4 t black pepper
zest and juice from one lemon
1 T EVOO
1 T parmesan cheese
1/4 c greek gods plain nonfat yogurt
1/4 c fat free ricotta cheese

combine all in of the ingredients in a food processor and mix until blended. add more/less cheeses/garlic/salt or whatever, as you like. if i have a lot left over, i freeze it in portions that are enough for dinner for my husband and i. easy and yummy!

Here's a GREAT recipe for Spicy BBQ Sauce out of Tosca Reno's Eat-Clean Cookbook!!! It's FABULOUS and Good for you too!

1 tsp Safflower Oil
1/2 Sweet Onion, diced
2 cloves Garlic, chopped
1 cup low sodium Tomato Sauce
1 Chipotle Pepper in adobo sauce, chopped
1 Tbsp Deli or Dijon Mustard
1 Tbsp Cider Vinegar
1 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
2 Tbsp Blackstrap Molasses
1 Tbsp Honey
1 tsp Chili Powder
1/2 tsp smoked or sweet paprika

Heat safflower oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and saute until soft and starting to brown (about 5 minutes). Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Add rest of ingredients, stir to combine, simmer for 15 minutes or until slightly thickened. Pour into a blender and blend until smooth. Can be stored in sealed container for 2 weeks. ENJOY!
