Yesterday while everyone in So. Cal was saying it was raining (pouring in
some places!) it was still just cloudy here. Then we got sun! It even warmed to
52º. My friend Erika in La Crescenta said they got over 3.25" !!! Kristen said
the sun was out by the time she drove home to Covina but the school playground
was flooded.

Now if you like pesto, like I do!, you would love these simple Pesto Garlic
Rolls:
2 cans refrigerated biscuits (Grands)
4 oz Mozzarella cheese cut into 20 equal cubes
8 oz jar basil pesto
4 T melted butter
2 cloves garlic
Cut each biscuit in half, flatten dough. Spread a t. of pesto in center of
dough, place Mozzarella cube on top, pinch sides around cheese so the pesto and
cheese are completely encased by the dough.
Place stuffed dough balls in a cast iron pan.
Crush garlic and mix with melted butter and brush the garlic butter over
each ball.
Bake 400º for 20 minutes or until dough is golden. Serve warm.
OMGOOOOOOOOD!!!
(Thank Goodness for Grands biscuits!!!!!)
