Making that summer pesto reminded me that I've had some sun dried tomatoes sitting in the fridge that have been whispering "psssst pessssto" to me every time I spied them hiding in the back. Having the food processor out and being in a pesto-making mood, I figured the sun dried tomatoes' time had come!
For inspiration I looked at some of the usual suspects. Smitten Kitchen had a yummy looking Walnut Pesto, but that was more focused on walnuts than on the tomatoes. Ditto TheKitchn's Walnut Pesto with Sun Dried Tomatoes. A Bon Appetit recipe on Epicurious seemed a good bet, except that I'd used up all my basil with the summer pesto. Though none of these were exactly what I had in mind (or in my fridge), they gave me enough to go on to whip up a simple sun dried tomato pesto of my own!

| Look at our little thyme - isn't she delightful? This is the first time I used any of the herbs from our mini widow sill herb garden! |
