The olive oil has a mild flavor but also has that spicy hint on the back of the palate making this recipe a joy to the taste.Ā Last time that I was in California had the chance to visit a walnut and almond farm. It is amazing to see how they grow and how beautiful they are when in raw state.

Eating greenĀ it is a good thing, anytime IĀ have the chance to incorporate green into our meals it is a good decision. Leafy greens like kale are good source of fiber which also hasĀ folate and magnesium as well as iron.Ā This Kale Pesto Lucky Pasta is a vegetarian option and a nice dish to prepare for your St. Patrick’s celebration at home.

Happy St Patricks Day
Happy St Patrick’s Day!

Christ beside me, Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ within me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me ~ Saint Patrick
