Oh, What the Kale

Love that Kale It is still growing strong! Kale was the first crop that matured in my 2010 garden. Although I harvested it several times, the leaves still sprout. I love the hearty flavor. My daughter, Kat, says that she thinks she prefers it over spinach. How do I prepare it? I just chop it and put it in slightly salted boiling water. This vegetable brings back memories of my chilhood. Walking into the house smelling kale on the stove with a bacon vinegar base, I knew my Polish-born Babcia (grandmother) was cooking tonight! Yummy! Try serving your Kale next to a baked sweet potato and a choice of protein. It is not only a very nutritious meal but pleasing to the eye.

  1. Have you ever tried baking it on low heat with sea salt and spices? It's a kale chip -- it has a nice crunch to it! You can do salt and cayenne pepper for a bit of spice or parmesan cheese or just a little salt. Great as an afternoon snack or addition to salad :)
