Farm fresh vegetables

My friend S brought me these wonderful vegetables from her sister's farm. Look at the size of that huge zucchini in relation to the pen in the photo! There is also kohlrabi and kale.

I do kale chips with the kale, just roast the kale leaves in the oven for ten minutes with a little salt and olive oil until browned.

A Delightful Surprise

Daughter L received this delightful surprise fruit basket for Valentine's Day. She was at work when the courier came to the door and was all smiles when she got home that evening.  Can you see the heart shaped pineapples and chocolate covered strawberries?  Her boyfriend knows what she likes.

So the basket was filled with kale leaves and I made kale chips with them, so it was a gift that kept on giving!  We have been enjoying the fruit too.

Kale Chips and Beet Salad

Kale Chips

As I mentioned yesterday I did a lot of cooking this past Saturday. The kale chips are from a recipe I had saved awhile back. It turned out perfectly. The beet salad tasted like a pickle, and was suggested to me by Wanda. It was delicious.  Grate raw beets, add olive oil, apple cider vinegar and a little sugar.  I also added salt, pepper and some Italian seasoning.
