Previously posted in March of 2014, we are bringing this one back for the sheer flavor factor. The Jam Stand’s Drunken Monkey Banana Jam is currently available at Charlotte Julienne in Watch Hill.

Easy Winter Pesto with Arugula & Almonds
In the summer there is nothing better than the taste of garden fresh basil pesto in pasta dishes. In the winter when the basil is not growing in the garden we still enjoy pesto in our pasta dishes, both store bought and homemade.

Not the kind you get in a big can, but creamy chowders filled with chunky potatoes and loads of fresh clams. […]
