April has crept up on me so quickly. March was really busy for me for some reason its come and gone. Gosh time does fly when your busy.
We have 6 gorgeous green recipes to share for #EatYourGreens.
The first Eat Your Greens recipe comes from Gluten Free Alchemist. Kate brought to the table an Iron Rich Spinach and Parsley Green Houmous. This gorgeous green houmous is super simple if you have all the ingredients to hand and is very very versatile - try it spread on crispy bread or simply dip in.
The second recipe comes from VNutrition, Mary Ellen shares with us her vegan version of a classic Irish dish - Colcannon. This velvety soup is made with potatoes and kale, perfect for St Patrick's Day or any other time of the year. And guess what the natural creaminess comes from cashew nuts!
Laura from Touch Wood joins us with her hearty and nutritious bowl of Leek Potato and Spinach Soup. Wow, don't you want to tuck in. I also love how Laura has garnished her soup with avocado slices, yogurt, oil and flax seeds.
From Lisa's Kitchen we have a Spicy Brown Lentil Soup with Broccoli. This is a nourishing and warming bowl. I do love how the broccoli is strewn over the pebbly lentils in little pieces giving this Lentil soup additional vegetable goodness.
The Veg Hog my lovely co-host was inspired by a recipe in Mat Follas cookbook Vegetable Perfection. She shared with us a vegetarian Green Gnocchi made with Kale. Kale is my favourite green and these gnocchi bite delight with colour and flavour covered in a crispy sage butter sauce, as well as an additional tomato garlic sauce and a baked cheese twirl.
And finally, my own contribution which was a Black Kale and Chickpea Pot Pies. I had a busy March like I said earlier and was really worried whether I would participate in my own challenge, but did manage it Thank goodness.

Lovely selection - I am kicking myself that I didn't send anything in last month but it has been a crazy month and I have not kept up with blog evnts as much as I liked to. Most of the greens we have been eating have been baby spinach on the side of a plate but I could have sent in my salad that I posted.
ReplyDeleteThanks Johanna. That's okay, I nearly missed out on joining in myself and I am the host. I too have had a busy month, I have neglected some of my blog reads recently too.
DeleteBeautiful recipes, so much inspiration! I can't believe either that it's April already... but on to a new month of cooking. :)
ReplyDeleteI agree, and yes April already - the year is flying.
DeleteLoving the recipes this month (as always!) Those gnocchi in particular are calling my name. I'm always a bit leery of making them because they always seem to hard to make - I think I need to step up my gnocchi game and give them a go!
ReplyDeleteNice selection! It seems like ages since I managed to join in. Must do better in future.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting though..... always good to see everyone's green efforts x
Thanks Kate.
DeleteYour always very welcome and its always nice to see your gf contribution
Everything looks so delicious Shaheen! So many choices I don't know which to try first. Thank you for featuring my soup. I love how you focus on getting people to eat their greens - not enough people do, including me now that I think about it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary Ellen. I am so pleased that you joined in and yes, do eat your greens.
