I’ll be downgrading in size and I’m looking around thinking “Where in the world is all this stuff going to fit?” I’ve got a few months before any of this gets in motion, but since I’m such a planner it’s so front and center in my mind right now.
Pesto goat cheese mac and cheese plus#
Plus I feel like I’m going at it a little backwards from owner to renter. Stupid little things that make me sad to lose. My garage being a huge one! Color on the walls, water dispenser in my fridge, glass stove top. There are things I’m looking forward to about being a renter like not paying for appliances or plumbing when there’s a problem, and being able to move if I don’t like it. It’s exciting and terrifying at the same time.Įxciting because I cannot wait to move closer in to Nashville, but terrifying because it’s new and strange. Now that the market is getting somewhat better, I’ve been working to fix the place up a bit and hopefully put it on the market soon. I’ve owned a condo for about eight years and I’ve been ready to move for about three, but thanks to the housing crash, I’ve been stuck. We also drove around Nashville looking at places for me to live. I’ve seen these measuring spoons for $10 bucks in antique stores and I’ve now bought two sets each for $1. It’s become an addiction! I got this really cool old egg separator, metal juicer, ladle, and another set of measuring spoons. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours. Place a third of the cheese mixture in bowl top with pesto, half of the remaining cheese mixture, the peppers and remaining cheese mixture. My mom came to visit and we went to the flea market where I scored a few more prop items. In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, goat cheese, oil, thyme and garlic. How was your weekend? Mine was awesome on Saturday. Another perfect sandwich for warm weather! The mint rounds it all out with more freshness. Creamy goat cheese and crunch from the sprouts, cucumbers, and apples.

You all know I’m a big fan of texture and you get a nice mixture here. I used Fuji, but I think tart Granny Smiths would work wonderfully. This sandwich is so refreshing thanks to the crisp slices of cucumbers and apples. I think the key is using the pesto with cheese and olive oil. It was really good, but wasn’t quite spot on to the original at Pinewood.

In trying to be healthy and save some calories, I used the healthier version. The other is a healthier version that skips the cheese and oil.
Pesto goat cheese mac and cheese full#
One is the full on, full fat, regular pesto with olive oil and cheese. Love my imitation sandwich! Below in the recipe area you’ll see I give you two versions of mint pesto. It’s perfect for when you’re craving something really flavorful, but not heavy. It sounds like nothing spectacular, but trust me, it is. It’s goat cheese, mint pesto, sprouts, and thinly sliced cucumbers and apples. It came really really really close, so I’m happy. Oh the horror! What a dream crusher to have this awesome sandwich once and never be able to have it again…until today! I made my best attempt at recreating it at home. The bad news? It’s no longer on the menu. I first had it at Pinewood Social here in Nashville and it’s been in my dreams ever since. Oh how much I love this Goat Cheese & Mint Pesto Sandwich.
