Pesto Feta Scrambled Eggs

Time for July's Crazy Ingredient Challenge!

The theme for this month is pesto and coconut. What???? Don't worry I said the same thing and wondered how I could make this combo work. Well my friends I made it work, and it is delicious. My initial thought process was dried coconut and I racked my brain, but then I remembered coconut oil. Coconut oil is very popular right now and I use it a lot in my house, but normal it is not my "go-to" for cooking. I use it for oil-pulling (I know this sounds odd, but I swear by it), diaper cream and part of my face wash! I actually do like to cook with it, but Ron is not a fan of the flavor so I use it in other ways. 

Anyways, I decided that I was in the mood for eggs and had fortunately just whipped up a fresh batch of pesto. I also added a bit of feta cheese because, as you know, I am a big fan of this combo. How did it turn out you are wondering? I really liked the flavor combination. If I had not known I used coconut oil I would not have guess it was in there. The coconut flavor was very light and almost a little nutty and that was yummy with the pesto. I am still not sold on dried coconut with pesto, but using the oil for my eggs was delicious. 

Tonight, my friend Emily daughter is coming for a play-date and I am going to bring out the kiddy pool so we can beat the heat (as long as it doesn't storm!).  This week is much calmer than last week and I am honestly looking forward to a few nights at home without the needs to run around!
