Here is the inevitable post about garlic scapes pesto! For any of you that have a CSA, you are familiar with the garlic scape. If not, you probably have no idea what I'm talking about.

She agreed to bring over some herbs from her garden in exchange for using my kitchen!
I should preface this post by explaining that one of my favorite parts of summer is the food. My number one all time food is watermelon, and corn on the cob is a close second.
