The funny thing is, my elder daughter did exactly the same when she was about 2 years old ... liking them must be a genetic thing!

This restaurant seriously knew what it was doing. Glad you enjoyed the kale pasta - satisfying it is. Thanks for updating me! Happy Thanksgiving, friend! Janet, right?

I've been obsessed with brussel sprouts since August that I caved and bought frozen ones recently. There's something about how the leaves unravel layer by layer that makes it so much fun to eat - sort of. What really impressed me about your post is how the restaurant paired such a simple vegetable with something so pretty - the walleye. I'm not quite fond of hazelnuts but I think walnuts or almonds might do the trick. Btw, I made and ate your kale linguine recipe all last week. After coming home from vacation and rummaging the pantry for food, I found a very old bag of spaghetti. I subbed in canned tomato sauce and bagged lettuce along with canned salmon (very lazy) but it was really satisfying. I haven't had pasta noodles in many years so it was nice to revisit a very old favorite. This is wonderful timing.
