The salad was a big hit when I made it for brunch at my sister Sandee&#39;s house, and I&#39;ve made it twice since then for myself. What makes the flavors really rock in the salad (besides the slices of Peperoncini) is the addition of one tablespoon of Peperoncini brine to the dressing. If you like Peperoncini when you get them added to a restaurant salad, you&#39;ll definitely like this salad.</div><br> <a href="http://www.kalynskitchen.com/2010/04/recipe-for-peperoncini-chopped-salad.html#more">Click to continue reading</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12411922-8418007296492717871?l=www.kalynskitchen.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/PgyTUsk0d-Lz13jhtaXhAIXMDNQ/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/PgyTUsk0d-Lz13jhtaXhAIXMDNQ/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/PgyTUsk0d-Lz13jhtaXhAIXMDNQ/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/PgyTUsk0d-Lz13jhtaXhAIXMDNQ/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/KalynsKitchen?a=1zRoa9yuPlE:lZQfNZblLNk:XhI0_UKdTUU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/KalynsKitchen?i=1zRoa9yuPlE:lZQfNZblLNk:XhI0_UKdTUU" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/KalynsKitchen/~4/1zRoa9yuPlE" height="1" width="1"/>Kalynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02499065771517548587noreply@blogger.com30tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12411922.post-12587096344490892102012-02-09T10:49:00.002-07:002012-02-09T11:38:53.224-07:002012-02-09T11:38:53.224-07:00<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

I found that quite a few other people had the same idea.  The recipe here was adapted from <a href="http://www.culinate.com/user/annaheininger/recipes/healthy_comfort/turkey_pesto_meatloaf">Turkey Pesto Meatloaf at Culinate</a>, although I did make quite a few changes for the version I ended up with.  My Turkey Pesto Meatloaf has a generous amount of pesto, and I used tomato sauce mixed with a little balsamic vinegar to top the meatloaf, a combination that went well with the pesto.  I loved this variation on meatloaf; hope other people will enjoy it too.</div><br> <a href="http://www.kalynskitchen.com/2012/02/turkey-pesto-meatloaf-recipe-with.html#more">Click to continue reading</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12411922-1258709634449089210?l=www.kalynskitchen.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/UG5bno2Ns2uhyBlQbfbPsqooTs0/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/UG5bno2Ns2uhyBlQbfbPsqooTs0/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/UG5bno2Ns2uhyBlQbfbPsqooTs0/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/UG5bno2Ns2uhyBlQbfbPsqooTs0/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/KalynsKitchen?a=XSdpI-1s60o:WWQYYJxE9DI:XhI0_UKdTUU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/KalynsKitchen?i=XSdpI-1s60o:WWQYYJxE9DI:XhI0_UKdTUU" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/KalynsKitchen/~4/XSdpI-1s60o" height="1" width="1"/>Kalynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02499065771517548587noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12411922.post-15251694148574028812012-02-07T18:21:00.000-07:002012-02-07T18:21:25.463-07:002012-02-07T18:21:25.463-07:00<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

When you heat the paste and mix with coconut milk and chopped cilantro, the result is a highly flavorful, fresh tasting sauce that really bumps up the flavor of whatever you serve it with.  The sauce was great on chicken, but I think you could also serve it on pork, fish, broccoli, or cauliflower.

If you don&#39;t have any basil growing, you can certainly make this ultra-easy main dish with purchased basil pesto, which is what the recipe in the book called for. If you have more fresh basil, or more basil pesto left in your jar after you make this, look after the recipe for some other ideas using pesto.</div><br> <a href="http://www.kalynskitchen.com/2010/09/easy-recipe-for-baked-pesto-chicken.html#more">Click to continue reading</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12411922-8566243445138615803?l=www.kalynskitchen.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/0me94qyrz1GwjHOA5W_g84cHMRY/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/0me94qyrz1GwjHOA5W_g84cHMRY/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/0me94qyrz1GwjHOA5W_g84cHMRY/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/0me94qyrz1GwjHOA5W_g84cHMRY/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/KalynsKitchen?a=qbM1oc4R03I:uVK8_I7DU6I:XhI0_UKdTUU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/KalynsKitchen?i=qbM1oc4R03I:uVK8_I7DU6I:XhI0_UKdTUU" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/KalynsKitchen/~4/qbM1oc4R03I" height="1" width="1"/>Kalynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02499065771517548587noreply@blogger.com127tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12411922.post-22095739690261601832012-01-19T19:13:00.001-07:002012-01-20T07:37:56.908-07:002012-01-20T07:37:56.908-07:00<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

category.  I had comfort food in mind when I came up with the idea for <a href="http://www.kalynskitchen.com/2012/01/recipe-for-ham-and-cauliflower.html">Ham and Casserole au Gratin</a>, and this Sausage and Kale Mock Lasagna is another comforting casserole that&#39;s so loaded with flavor that you won&#39;t even miss the lasagna noodles.  When I made this I ate it for lunch and dinner two days in a row, and if I hadn&#39;t put some in the freezer, I might have had it the next day as well!  If you&#39;re not a fan of kale yet, other sturdy greens like chard or collards would probably work, but I don&#39;t think softer greens like spinach would hold up that well in this.</div><br> <a href="http://www.kalynskitchen.com/2012/01/recipe-for-sausage-and-kale-mock.html#more">Click to continue reading</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12411922-4640866343313081904?l=www.kalynskitchen.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/tptpoJYGjDMQEU4h9IdaanrhAHo/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/tptpoJYGjDMQEU4h9IdaanrhAHo/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/tptpoJYGjDMQEU4h9IdaanrhAHo/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/tptpoJYGjDMQEU4h9IdaanrhAHo/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/KalynsKitchen?a=HgkOCa4sQtk:qglfbFvBMzo:XhI0_UKdTUU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/KalynsKitchen?i=HgkOCa4sQtk:qglfbFvBMzo:XhI0_UKdTUU" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/KalynsKitchen/~4/HgkOCa4sQtk" height="1" width="1"/>Kalynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02499065771517548587noreply@blogger.com40tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12411922.post-1168751561885625272012-01-16T17:34:00.000-07:002012-01-16T17:34:50.494-07:002012-01-16T17:34:50.494-07:00<div style="text-align: justify;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;
