Gluten-Free, Vegan Avocado Pesto

May 17, 2019

Well with that fresh basil calling us from our backyard…pesto it was! I love the freshness of the basil and the sharpness of the garlic. To me pesto isn’t one of those heavier pastas. It’s bright and light, yet filling.

With LeBraun loving creamier pastas we decided to mix it up by adding avocados to the traditional pesto recipe and the result was an indulgent (without being too rich), creamy, fresh dinner! Mmm!

I was corrected on the proper pronunciation of bruschetta while traveling once. It’s apparently “bruˈsketta.” And I have not made that mistake since.

Hi, I'm Shalan! Studioist.co is my journal devoted to adventures, creativity, recipes, and my husband LeBraun and I's semi-nomadic lifestyle. I spend most of my days wondering how to combine my two loves, traveling and illustrations. The rest of my time I spend trying to create awesome gluten-free, dairy-free recipes. I want this to be a place of inspiration and encouragement as well as a fun place to spend your time. And yes, sometimes it gets messy, but I wouldn't have it any other way.


Here’s what shakin’, bacon!
