Chicken + Avocado Pesto

I seriously told myself I would just enjoy a night off, no blogging. Nope. One of my favourite things about blogging is that all the grocery store staff know me. The one guy always laughs because I don’t use a basket, I just stack things up on my arms.  I feel like they know the real me.
