Pea and Herb Bruschetta

As some of you may know my husband likes bikes... alas, so does my son. Now you say, how does cycling end up on a post about bruschetta. Well you see, we discovered a new book called The Feed Zone by Biju Thomas and Allen Lim. This is book is great and it is full of  healthy recipes There are tasty treats to take on long endurance events, if you're so inclined to be that crazy, and it has really easy quick dinner ideas. The recipes are refreshingly simple and uses ingredients to help satisfy athletes as well as normal folks. This pea and herb bruschetta incorporates fresh herbs as well as a ton of spinach and greens. My toddler even ate it. Amazing!!

 Let's get started. Chopped basil, peas, Parmesan cheese and a baguette. Already sounds good, right?

   I used frozen peas. Although the end result was still amazing.

Brushed slices of bread with basil oil...cuz that is how I roll. Toasted under the broiler. Veggies blanched and added to the food processor and you are now ready for a the tasty spread. A little lemon juice to brighten up the flavors and some fresh grated cheese. Almost like pesto, but healthier and I think tastier. Maybe I should go on a bike ride just so I can put about fifty of these in my face.
