Carrot Top Pesto Ravioli with grilled baby carrotsMost of us have heard the daunting numbers and statistics about food waste.  The bottom line is that there is too much food that doesn’t get utilized.  However, each of us can control the food waste that comes out of our own kitchens.  When you buy carrots from the grocery store, their green tops have already been removed, but when you find them locally at a farmers market or in a CSA, often times they come with their greens.  This carrot top pesto ravioli with grilled carrots is an awesome way to utilize the entire carrot plant!

I know I said that I was going to embrace fall.  Yet here I am posting about summer vegetables…still.  At the farmers market this morning there were still so many yummy summer vegetables to enjoy, I couldn’t help myself!  There were a few butternut squash, but I have all winter to enjoy the long lasting squash (which is another great vegetable to roast, by the way).  So there you have it, summer roasted veggies with my special seasoning blend!
