Winter Kale


 My friend S dropped off some winter kale for me.  It is kale that has bloomed over the winter, as opposed to a fresh planting which would be harvested later in the year.

I made kale chips with the leaves as I usually do and these days I cut the stems into small pieces and add them to a can of vegetable soup.  It boils for about 45 minutes and becomes a tender nutritious addition to the soup.

I like kale, but they don't love me back. Bloating is just not fun.

It sounds and looks very healthy. They say the darker the green, the better for you. Most of the salald mixes have kale. It had a nice texture, color and taste.

I've never tried kale chips. I should give them a go some time.

We like ours dried. It's easier to eat that way. crumbled on top of pizza is my favorite way and soups too. We grow it year round.

I know you have written about making kale chips before. I tried to do it one time, and did not care for the results.

they are husband M's favourite but I can understand it is not everyone's taste.

Sometimes I also fry it with garlic, like spinach. It tastes great with dinner.

I've never had kale chips. Right now I have an over abundance of buttercrunch lettuce. Any ideas for that?
