Happy Canadian Thanksgiving

Carrot Pumpkin Cake

Thai Green Curry Shrimp with Kale Stem Pesto

 It is Canadian Thanksgiving today.  Hope you have a good one as best you can under the Covid restrictions.

Daughter L spent Thanksgiving with her fiance's family up north and made the carrot pumpkin cake pictured above.

I am showing you my kale stem pesto made with almonds and some Thai Green Curry Shrimp I made last week when my friend S stopped by with some fresh bunches of kale.  Her sister has a farm.  

My kale stem recipe has evolved and is a lot better now:

2 c kale stems cut in 3 inch pieces

3/4 c olive oil

1/4 c parmesan cheese

2 tsp lemon juice

3/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

4 cloves chopped garlic

1/2 c roasted almonds

First, blanche the kale stems in water for about 3 minutes.  In a food processor,  blend all the ingredients into a paste.

This is the weirdest thing. Did you notice that DKZody's Weblog photo is gigantic now? It takes up the whole page. I've never seen that happen before.

Kay said...

I just went to the Layout and took off the snippets so I wouldn't have that gigantic picture there. Yours is not too bad because it's just on the side bar. Mine went into the entire page.
