Spinach & Kale Pesto

Kale is so trendy now & I love it. In particular baby kale.  I found a mixed bag of baby kale & baby spinach at the super market & quickly tossed it in my cart. Instead of steaming the kale & spinach I opted to make them into a delicious pesto that takes minutes to make. Oh and there's no cooking involved.  If you can turn on a food processor you can make a gourmet spread that's worth bragging about.

Ingredients

• 3 cups mixed baby kale & baby spinach
• 2 cloves garlic, peeled & halved
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1/4 cup walnuts
• salt & pepper

Make it!

1. Blend the mixed greens, garlic, cheese & walnuts together in a food processor using the 's' blade.
2. Scrape down the sides of the food processor with a rubber spatula.
3. Run the food processor  again streaming the olive oil a little at a time until it becomes a thick yet spreadable consistency.
4. Add salt & pepper to taste.
5. Serve with pasta, toast or just eat it off a spoon.

Tzatziki Sauce

I love greek yogurt, cucumber & garlic, so it's only natural that I love tzatziki sauce which has all of these delicious ingredients in it.  It's great to dip pita in or to add to a sandwich instead of mustard or mayo. You can make it with 5 ingredients (7 if you include salt & pepper!).

PS: HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY MOM & little baby Evie! I love you both.
