You know that a recipe is a trusted no-fail one when your kids are able to prepare it by themselves (under your supervision) more than once and it always comes out good. 😉
That's our staple family banana bread. A no-fail one!

Do you have a family no-fail recipe? Write it in the comments below :-)

As for the banana bread:

Ingredients:
1 cup sugar of your choice. I used cane sugar.
1/2 cup butter, room temperature, super soft or coconut oil
2 eggs
3 ripen banana
3 Tbsp milk
4 Tbsp plain greek yogurt
2 Cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
Dark chocolate chips, two full handfuls

Procedure:
Mix all the wet ingredients in a bowl, starting from the eggs with sugar and adding all the others on top.
In a separate bowl mix all the dry ingredients.
Slowly combine the dry into the wet mix.
Add the chocolate chips at the end.
Pour in a loaf baking pan and bake in a preheated oven at 350F for 60/70 min.
Let it cool down and enjoy!!! Have a gorgeous weekend everyone!

Kale. Yuuuk! 🤮 Yes, that's usually my kids' reaction when I take it out from the fridge to prepare a recipe! Don't worry, it doesn't hurt my feelings 😜

Zucchini and Kale Pesto served as a pasta dressing? 🥳 That gets a totally different reaction. Thumbs up and kid approved. 👍🏻👍🏻

How you serve a food and how you combine it with other ingredients can make a huge difference. A no, no food can magically become a yes! food. And this works with kids but also with adults :-)

In this pesto two are the winning factors:

🏆 The kale has been blanched for 2 minutes to remove some bitterness that is usually on the surface of the leaves.
🏆 I also added a zucchini to give some sweetness.

Let's make it together!
INGREDIENTS:
2 Tbsp almond meal
1 cup kale, leaves only, no stem
2 Tbsp water
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 medium zucchini, chopped
3 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
4 Tbsp olive oil

PROCEDURE:
Place the kale leaves in a boiling water pot for 2 min. Drain and cool down under cold running water. The cold water will stop the cooking.
In a food processor (or tall container if you use an immersion blender) place all the ingredients. Kale + almond meal + water + salt + parmesan + zucchini + oil. Pulse to obtain a smooth cream. Done!
I used the pesto to dress a pasta but you can use it on top of rice, quinoa or to marinade chicken or fish!

Are you on the kale team too?
Let me know if you like me to share more kale kid friendly recipes!
