🌿 Nesto Pesto 🌿
Keep a jar of Nesto Pesto in the refrigerator and serve it on just about everything; crackers, bread, salads, pasta, omelets, you name it!

𝗜𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀
4 cups of tips of fresh raw Nettles (You can also quickly blanche the Nettles, but I prefer to make Nesto with raw Nettles. Just be careful when making it so as not to get stung).
Garlic (3-6 cloves, more or less)
¼ cup Sunflower seeds, Cashews and/or Walnuts
¼ cup parmesan cheese
¼-½ cup Olive oil
Optional: ½ cup of Basil, Parsley, Cilantro or other flavorful herbs will enhance the flavor
Optional: ¼ cup of dried Tomatoes preserved in Olive oil

𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀
Place Nettles in blender or food processor with Garlic and nuts and 1/4 cup of Olive oil.
Pulse until well blended, adding more Olive oil as needed. Be certain that the Nettles are well blended. Blending destroys the little hairs on stems and leaves that contain formic acid, which causes the sting. Heat also destroys the formic acid/sting, so if you prefer you can blanche or lightly steam the Nettles first.
Add the finely grated parmesan cheese and stir in well. If you wish, you can add a little salt and pepper or a dash of Bragg Liquid Aminos for added flavor.
Stored in the refrigerator, it will last for several weeks.

Catnip! Awesome plant for us non-cats!

When most people think of catnip, they think of it as that plant that makes our feline friends get very hyper.

But here’s the thing,: catnip isn’t just for cats! Catnip tea and tincture too offers many healing gifts to us humans as well — perhaps the most surprising of all is that catnip calms and relaxes humans.

Yes, that’s right. The leaves and flowering tops of this plant that hypes up cats has a calming effect on our human nervous systems.🌿
