Raw Kale & Radish Pesto with Zucchini Noodles
Are you a fan of KALE?
Can’t say that I have been to date, š in spite of liking almost every other kind of veggie there is!
But this post over at Girl Eats Greens grabbed my attention today, as I browsed the WP Reader.
Looks so yummy and healthy too. š
Happy Eating and Week! G
One of my favorite things about spring turning into summer is all the deliciousness that continues to show up at my local farmerās market. While I donāt buy all my groceries there, I do spend time every Sunday walking along with my pup and seeing whatās new to the market. What Iāve seen a lot lately? Fiddleheads. I have no idea what to do with them. But Iām dying to try them. I also stumbled upon a bunch of bright red radishes.
Growing up, I was never a fan of radishes, I thought they were too bitter. But as Iām getting older I think a lot of it had to do with the preparation of the radishes. As in, there wasnāt any.

How I LOVE Beets, Let Me Count the Ways! ;-)
IĀ ā„ beets sooooo much! š
I think beets are one of the most underrated vegetables in terms of versatility and taste.
Not to mention their health benefits, which are significant too and Ā in a number of ways. It’s not just vitamin C that you’re getting in a serving of beets! You can read about some of the many nutritional pluses of eating beets and beet greens here.Ā
Tonight I’m making a beet pesto with pasta recipe for the first time. Sounds and looks so yummy. It’s aĀ recipe that I found recently in Alive Magazine.Ā I also make a variety of beet salads on a regular basis and of course, my fav soup of all time:
Veggie Beet Borscht (click for the recipe).
Do you like beets and what’s your fav recipe to make with them?

The Many Pluses of Peanut Butter! :<)

Here’s the recipe for the Old-Fashioned Peanut Butter CookiesĀ shown above.
I’ve made these many times .Ā My mom made these too. They were bliss after school with an ice-cold glass of Mmoooo….
That’s what we called dairy milk. Didn’t everyone? š
I’ve always been a peanut butter fan. I love it, especially the natural kind that contains only peanuts. I feel sorry for children who can’t eat this wonderful spread, due to allergies etc. It was a staple when I was a kid. Not the case anymore it seems.
But for those of us without allergy concerns, peanut butter (in moderation, it’s always about moderation isn’t it?) can apparently be good for us (and not just delish) for ourĀ ā„ and many other health pluses too. Here’s one of many online articles, re: the benefits of eating peanut butter.
Our feathered friends apparently enjoy peanut butter too. šĀ
Here’s an articleĀ Ā showing how to make a bird feeder using peanut butter.
Do you enjoy peanut butter?
Any PB recipes that you particularly like? And if you have a link to a good one, do share.
Now I’m off to make a piece of toast with a generous swipe of peanut butter; but this will be with coconut milk! š
