First up is camp meals. This sundried tomato pesto is an easy make ahead meal!
Whether you're feeding four mouths or one, meal planning is essential when heading out for the week for both budget and convenience. As I was searching for easy but delicious meals I found a perfect summer meal that would surely brighten up any picnic table :) and is tasty warm or cold. It uses our sundried tomatoes, olive oil, spices and penne, you just need to gather some fresh produce and parm and you're on your way! Bon appetite!
