Kale salad is a must have for Thanksgiving dinner and my kids love this fruity kale salad. Here is the recipe
½ cup raw pumpkin seeds

· ½ cup dried cranberries

· 1 medium apple

Dressing

· 3 tablespoons olive oil

· 1 ½ tablespoons lemon juice

· 1 tablespoon smooth Dijon mustard

· 1 ½ teaspoons maple syrup

· Pink salt and ground pepper, to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Toast pumpkin seeds in a frying pan on medium heat until lightly golden and fragrant, about 5 to 10 minutes, tossing them once or twice to make sure they toast evenly. Remove from heat set them aside to cool.

2. Pull the kale leaves off from the stems and chop the kale into small, bite-sized pieces. Put the kale to a big salad bowl.

3. add the dried cranberries to the bowl. Peel and chop the apple into small, bite-sized pieces and add it to the bowl as well.

4. In a small bowl, whisk the dressing ingredients together and pour the dressing over the salad. Toss until the salad is evenly coated with dressing. Sprinkle pumpkin seeds over the salad before serving.

I will not shop on Black Friday because I do not need anything, the only good deal is the one you did not buy and because I have better things to do. But I’m not here to judge anyone who will shop on Friday. But I do encourage you to buy only from artists, makers, independent shops and small businesses because they are all struggling because of this pandemic so buying from them is vital to their prosperity and survival.

Smashed chickpea salad is great to have ready made up for sandwiches or wraps.

•15 oz. can or cooked chickpeas drained, rinsed & skins removed
•4 tbsp. vegan mayo
• 2 tbsp. Dijon mustard
• 1/4 red onion minced
• 2 tbsp. fresh dill, minced
• pinch of garlic powder
• pepper to taste
•tabasco to taste

Combine chickpeas, mayo, mustard, red onion, salt and pepper and blend in a food processor or use a hand-held blender until desired consistency is reached – I personally like it to be mostly creamy with a few chickpea chunks.
Add dill and tabasco and stir to combine.

Fruit leather is one of my kids favorite snacks and best part is they are sugar free and they can make them without my help😀

I’m one of those people who’s drop my phone or my kids accidentally bump or drop it so a phone case helps protect it and for extra bonus I like it to be waste free so @pelacase is my favorite since it’s compostsble 😃
