Vegetarian guests at your Turkey Day feast? Not a problem. Make this gorgeous risotto with butternut squash, kale, and parmesan. It will be the main dish for vegetarians and a wonderful side dish for turkey eaters. If you add any kind of nuts it will make a complete protein in combination with the rice. Kale is a Super Food that adds a lot of vitamins to this beautiful dish.
Risotto is getting to be very upscale in appeal. So I’m labeling this gourmet and restaurant quality. Can I help it that it’s also inexpensive? Enjoy!

Andrew, that’s great! Very cool to grow your own kale. Mmmm, risotto. You eat well!

Kale is a staple in our house, whether for salads, soups, steamed or baked as chips. I was just today looking at the stem of the red kale plant that’s coming up on a year old. It’s more than an inch across at the base. Risotto is also somewhat of a staple, we have it a couple times a month.

We love Kale baked in the oven, salted, as chips. It’s a nutrition powerhouse. Here’s to a nutritious Thanksgiving dinner for you, Squirrelers! I love roasted Brussels Sprouts too. Yum.
Squirrelers says
That seems very nutritious, compared to many alternatives. I’m eating more Kale of late, and have found it’s not too bad! Including it with such ingredients as risotto, squash, parm cheese – that sounds pretty good.
I’m hoping this year’s Thanksgiving meal is full of more nutritious choices. We’ll see!
