Pea and Pine Nut Pesto

Isn’t pesto one of those great things to always have on hand in the fridge? I just love a good pesto, and although there are many great versions out there, subtly inserting green peas in one has to be winning, right? This Pea and Pine Nut Pesto tastes fresh and clean, it’s easy to make and it’s so versatile. Try it and let me know what you think.

For another great recipe that’s as versatile and that I love to have available in the fridge at all times, check out this Traditional Chimichurri.

Kale and Spelt Salad with Peach and Pine Nuts

Kale and Spelt Salad with Peach and Pine Nuts | livitygardens.com

This Kale and Spelt Salad with Peach and Pine Nuts really started as a kitchen sink salad, but ended up being something I made three times in a week. So yes, it’s this good. I had kale from the farmers market that I wanted to use as well as some cherry tomatoes. I knew I wanted a grain in there, I love kale salads with grains, so I opted for spelt this time, but feel free to use freekeh, farro, or barley. Any chewy grain will do.

Broccolini with Pine Nuts and Raisins

Broccolini with Pine Nuts and Raisins

This Broccolini with Pine Nuts and Raisins dish was so satisfying, and you really feel like you’re eating clean. Look good, feel good, right? Myย kids lovedย this because of the sweetness of the raisins, and it made them eat some broccolini, which is highย in vitamin C. It also contains vitamin A, calcium, folate, and iron. I took my inspiration from Peter Berley, which I love. His cookbook The Modern Vegetarian Kitchen is one of my favorites. Serve this broccolini recipe as a side, or as part of a complete meal, when served with a grain or some quinoa.
