Pesto!

I've learned that you can make pesto with a variety of different greens (and nuts, too!).  So far I've made basil pesto, arugula pesto, parsley pesto and edamame pesto.  I've made pestos with pine nuts, walnuts and almonds...

I recently found out that you can make radish leaf pesto too!  I've been meaning to take the two bunches that were in the fridge and make it.  Yesterday I was all set to go, when I found one bunch yellow and wilted and the other bunch frozen from being in our fridge.  Oh well, next time.  (Radish greens go bad quickly, so use them right away!)  Next time we get a bunch of radishes, I'm going to make the pesto right away.  Here is the recipe I am planning on using (it's from Chocolate & Zucchini)...

So...I made kale pesto instead! After thinking about this and searching for a recipe, I found one I liked. It's a variation of a Rachael Ray recipe.  I ended up using almonds though, because that is what I had on hand.  I made two batches and put them in the freezer for a later date. After having a hard time with my tiny food chopper thingy and transferring the kale to my blender (which doesn't work that great either and smells like its burning when I use it), we decided to buy a food processor finally!  We are really excited and already used it last night to chop some veggies! (Oh the things that make up happy these days...)  Without further a due...
