If you aren’t making Pesto from Kale, you don’t know what you’re missing! You could even do a combo of Kale and Basil - Pesto is VERY forgiving and still tastes great.

How to Use Kale Pesto

You’ll love having this kale pesto on hand in your kitchen! It’s super versatile, so have fun experimenting with different ways to use it. Here are a few ideas to get you started:

Toss it with pasta. Use it instead of basil pesto in my Easy Pesto Pasta recipe. For a lighter dish, replace the regular pasta with spaghetti squash or zucchini noodles.
Spoon it over a frittata or sunny-side-up eggs.
Swirl it into mac and cheese.
Scoop it onto a bowl of soup. I love it on my Ribollita, Tortellini Soup, and Tomato Basil Soup!
Serve it as an appetizer with crusty bread for dipping.
Slather it onto a Caprese sandwich, a grilled cheese, or any sandwich you like.
Dot it onto homemade pizza.
Toss it with roasted veggies for a yummy, healthy side dish. It’d be fantastic with roasted cauliflower, butternut squash, or sweet potatoes!
Dollop it onto a grain bowl.

Diana here: I LOVE adding it to HOMEMADE Mac-n-Cheese; a total INDULGENCE if we have a ‘Cheat Day’ around here. ;) Also adding it to homemade soup is absolutely DIVINELY inspired! I made a big pot of Weight Watchers Veggie Soup today, and I’m going to add some Kale Pesto to it. (Don’t tell Oprah, LOL!)

"Corn's all in, Pa!"

Planted two 30' rows each of 'Kandy Korn' and 'Ambrosia' Sweet Corn, today. Beau did me a solid this evening before supper and put in four 20' rows of 'Puffy Pop' Popcorn and two rows of 'Glass Gem' decorative corn - which can also be dried and popped.

We haven't had a 'Popcorn Year' in a few - Popcorn is a great thing to grow if you have the room and like popcorn and don't mind the work it takes to shuck it all. SO worth it, IMHO. We gave it as Christmas Gifts one year - well received. :) Generally, the 'coons leave the Popcorn alone; we grow the Sweet Corn in The Big Garden East of the house; so far no raids there, either. Having a few dogs in the yard each day helps with that.

I have never grown kale. I did buy a package of seeds for this year because of your love of kale. Have ‘t planted them and I am running out of room but I guess I will squeeze them in.

I’ll have to look at this. I like pesto on Italian bread and pasta, but unless you have a garden it’s expensive to make from scratch. Kale is relatively cheap - and healthy.
