It’s a recipe packed Quicklinks this week!

• Low maintenance pesto: I love this easy idea from Jules at Stonesoup – it’s a low maintenance way of making pesto. And Jules completes the post with a recipe – pasta with zucchini and pesto
• Neatballs? Another excellent looking meal, this one from Monica of SmarterFitter fame. It’s a vegetarian “meatball” recipe: carrot and walnut tofu neatballs. I think these look fab.
• Stewing apple: I like this idea of stewing apples with honey and chamomille tea. It’s courtesy of Chelsea from Figs and Twigs.
• Cookies for breakfast: When Michelle from Find Your Balance makes cookies she packs them full of nutritional goodies. These autumn breakfast cookies include wholewheat flour, whole grains, vegetables, fruit, protein and no sugar!
• Stuffing a mushroom: I generally think stuffed mushrooms are over-rated, but Lili at Pikelet and Pie has posted a cracking recipe – mushrooms stuffed with pinenuts, bits of veg, goats’ cheese and plenty of herbs. I think they look really, really good.
• Summer coleslaw: I love coleslaws. Not the goopy, viscous, clag-like things you buy from the supermarket or KFC; instead I like a good, crunchy coleslaw, with an interesting, sparky dressing. There’s a coleslaw recipe in the winter An Honest Kitchen and there’s a different one in the upcoming Spring issue. In the meantime here’s a lovely end-of-summer recipe from Fuss Free Flavours complete with a mustard and horseradish dressing.

What will you be cooking this weekend?
