Orzo Salad with Prawns, Petit Pois and Arugula Pesto

I know I've mentioned this before, but I cannot stress enough how much I enjoy being part of this food blogging community. I've 'met' many wonderful people whom now I call friends. It's my few minutes of the day I really look forward to. I've drooled over so many delicious recipes; learned more about food; laughed with you and also inspired by your personal experiences.

Part of my daily reading is Jenn's Food Journey. Jenn "the grill master" serves delicious offerings and it's like a torture reading her blog, knowing there is no way to grab the food from the laptop screen. She is very lucky to live far away from me because otherwise I'd find an excuse to stop by for dinner everyday... I promise to help with the washing up and I'll bring the beverages or dessert :)

When Jenn asked me to write a guest post on her delicious blog, I was absolutely flattered. I decided to share this scrumptious Orzo Salad with Prawns, Petit Pois and Arugula Pesto. It's packed with flavours and I think Jenn would enjoy it and I think you would too. To read the post, please head over to Jenn's Food Journey where you would also find many other wonderful recipes, like the must-try mustard roasted potatoes.

Thank you so much Jenn for asking me to do this. It means a lot to me.

  12. YUM!!! I have a love/hate relationship with the food blogging community. I love it because I get so inspired, meet great people and drool. But I hate it because I drool, get hungry and have to snack on something that's less appetizing than what I'm staring at on the screen. Such as your dish here. It looks so delicious. But what do I have?? Mixed nuts. Boo!
