My new favorite food!

I didn’t even know what kale looked like a week ago. I brought it home from the store and could not fathom how it could turn into it’s crispy goodness. I had to trust Danielle (Simply for Life) and Stacy Buckland that it would be my new favorite food. So I gave it a try and now I will be in serious withdrawal this weekend as I travel and will not have a bunch a day.

Here’s the simple recipe:
-tear away from stiff stock
-wash and spin dry
-put on a cookie sheet and drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil
-sprinkle with garlic
-cook on convection 375F for about 10 min

Here’s another recipe that I gave to Shawnda this week thought I should share with others:

Kale Salad

2 bunches kale

1 thinly sliced red pepper

1 cup crumbled feta cheese

1 cup toasted pecan halves

Dressing:

¼ cup olive oil

¼ cup balsamic vinegar

2-3 Tbsp. honey

1 Tbsp. rice vinegar

Drop hot water

S&P

Tear kale into bite-sized pieces (remove the spine of the leaf). Mix the dressing with kale and let stand a couple of hours to help soften the kale. Just before serving add red pepper, feta & pecans
