I came across this Italian kale while my Hubby and I were shopping at the farmers market and I fell in love. It’s much softer and flat and its stalks aren’t as big and hard as the American variety. If you can’t find it just use regular kale and put it in with the beans after about 10 minutes instead of 20 minutes. These beans are creamy, like mashed potatoes, and the cheese just puts them over the top. Continue reading
I Love, Love, Love this salad!!! Kale has never been so good! It has the perfect amount of crunchy to creamy…sweet to tart! Unlike other salads you want to dress the kale early so it softens a little. You’ll crave this baby if you make it… Continue reading
This week Linda and I will be sharing two great salads to help you get healthy for summer! I love a good pasta salad – especially when entertaining – because it’s simple, inexpensive and goes a long way. The great thing about this salad is there is only a little pasta and a lot of rough greens but when you add them to the hot pasta, they soften a little and soak up the vinaigrette. You can add chicken and make it the main coarse. Any way you serve it – it’s a healthy addition to the menu! Continue reading
Wow was this a great salad! I love Brussels sprouts and they are just about ready for harvest. My Hubby won’t pick them until after the first frost… It makes them a little sweeter. In any case, I can still buy them even if home grown is better. Continue reading
This soup is great for summer. Light and refreshing with fresh kale from the garden in a light broth. The red pepper flakes add just the right amount of kick to boost this soup to one of my top 10 soups to eat… Continue reading
I just love creamy polenta. It takes some time to make, so I don’t make it often but when I do…. This time I paired it with a spice sausage and shrimp. What a combo! This dish was so rich and full of flavor I had to stop from wanting more. By adding the kale it really gave this dish nutrition and flavor. Wow! Continue reading
Now that Thanksgiving is over, the turkey is almost gone and I’m 5 pounds in regret… It’s time to spend at least a week before the Christmas cookies start to be everywhere that I need to give my body a rest. This soup is just that kind of soup. Full of flavor, veggies and beans, your body will say… thank you! I hope you give this soup a try and if you love beans you will love this soup. I serve it with some fresh rosemary bread and a lot of LOVE… Continue reading
