Tilapia with sundried tomato pesto

These two dishes came from Gluten-Free Mommy's blog which I found on Kalynskitchen.com. The recipe for the green beans will follow, but just so you know, we like our green beans much more done than crispy so next time I will cook them much longer instead of just blanching them for 2-3 minutes.  The sundried tomato pesto was really good. I will definately make that again when my basil has reached its ending days.
