Food...oh how I love food! I love to cook, but I must admit that I'm not all that good at following recipes. That said, we will be posting some of our favorite recipes periodically.
*Below you will find our favorite "foody" websites / blogs.
Kale is that curly, leafy green stuff you may have seen in the produce section and wondered about....well I'm here to tell you that it is a SUPER FOOD! Kale is packed with vitamins, antioxidants, calcium, and fiber!! Kale is great to use for salad, because it's very hardy, so you can make a bunch and keep it in the fridge for a few days! It's wonderful to cook with as well, mix chopped kale in soups or stirfries...or throw it on a baking sheet, spray it with olive oil and a sprinkle of salt and pepper, and bake at 375 degrees for about 15 minutes and you will have some delicious kale "chips" that I guarantee your kids will love, mine do!!!
Kale Salad
1-2 bunches kale washed and chopped (do not use the tough stems)

using your hands, mix the above ingredients together in a bowl, squeezing the lemon juice and salt and pepper into the kale, this softens the kale a bit and gets the flavor throughout.
Add any of the following ingredients:
shredded carrots
