I was never a fan, and I'm attributing it to the fact that I only had them boiled, which is gross! Once I started roasting vegetable instead ...

A Hearty and Healthy Salad of Kale, Quinoa, Carrots, and a creamy Peanut Dressing that's very addicting.

  • This time of year, all I want to eat is easy comfort food! Yellow curry is unlike red or green curry because it is mild in spice and made with potatoes. This gives the curry a cozy comforting vibe!
Make it with chicken or leave it out for a meatless option.

  • Need a Beautiful salad dish? I have one last Thanksgiving Recipe to share- Roasted Acorn Squash Kale Salad. This salad is packed with Fall flavors and looks beautiful on a platter.  I posted in my stories on how I opened my first pomegranate yesterday, and was surprised how easy it was! Dried Cranberries can also be substituted if you don't have pomegranate. âž•
Here's the recipe:
1 Bag of chopped kale (Remember to massage it!)
1 Acorn squash (Halved, sliced, and seasoned with cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar, salt.)
Chopped Pecans or Walnuts
Pomegranate Seeds
âž•
Dressing;
1/4 cup Trader Joe's Orange Champagne Vinegar
1/4 cup oil (Olive or Avocado)
1 Tablespoon Maple Syrup
Pinch of salt
âž•
Instructions:
Cut Acorn squash in half, remove seeds, and slice into 1 in pieces. Season with cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar, and salt. Roast in a 400 degree oven for 20-25 minutes until tender. (Skin is edible once cooked, but you can also remove it after cooking.)
Massage Chopped Kale leaves.
Combine ingredients for dressing, mix well, and pour dressing over kale, toss well, and add salt if needed.
Place roasted Acorn squash on top of kale salad and top with toasted pecans and pomegranate seeds.
