I have been revisiting some of my early posts. Tonight I made this pasta with sweet-roasted butternut squash and kale. It was delicious, was a big hit for dinner. The only difference was that this time I omitted the half and half. As I thought, it ends up that it really wasn’t a necessary ingredient….

Qormeh Sabzi – even healthier!
The first Persian dish I fell in love with was Qormeh Sabzi – a vibrant green stew of herbs with kidney beans and served with or without meat. I have posted both beef and chicken versions before. But now that I am in Portland, we have access to local fresh greens all winter. The kale…
BBQ Kale Chips
It’s a great year for the kale in my garden! And that is a good thing, because two of my daughters are home, and they LOVE kale! They especially like when I make kale chips. I usually make them simply with some oil and sea salt, but decided to try a BBQ flavoring…it was such…
Tuscan Tuna with Beans & Kale
What came out of my garden today? Sage and Kale. What came out previously? Sun-dried tomatoes. Add cannellini beans, tuna, grape tomatoes, celery and olives and you have a bright, colorful and healthy dinner… There was some discussion in the family about the need for the celery – or lack of need. My daughter thought…
Wheat Berries with Asparagus, Kale, Peas, Feta and Fried Egg.
Yes, it’s that time again… Kale bouquets! If you are new to my blog, let me explain… I harvest my kale in the morning when it is cool and stick the leaves in a vase or glass of water to keep the kale fresh and crisp. And, it is fun to look at in my…
Kale Salad with Gouda
The kale in my garden is ready for first harvest! As you can see I am growing two different types of kale, curly and siberian. The curly kale is still small, but the siberian has grown more quickly. I harvested enough to make a flavorful Caesar-type salad to have with our lasagna. The flavor was…
Quinoa with Roasted Sweet Potatoes, Kale & Feta
I still have PLENTY of sweet potatoes from our garden, about 1/2 a milk crate left (somehow I still have the crates we used to use when I grew up in NY in the 60’s and we still got milk deliveries). The crates are perfect for storing the sweet potatoes. Our last CSA box included…
Kale Chips
I have finally figured out how to not burn my kale chips! It was a plentiful year for kale in my garden. I felt like I had kale coming out of my ears. Kale chips are a fun way to use kale as a snack food… definitely worth a try. FOr this batch I used…
Tuscan Kale Salad
Tuscan kale is my favorite kale. The only one I really enjoy eating raw. It grew very nicely in my garden this year. I won’t drag this narrative out…here’s the salad… Topped with breadcrumbs I made from one of my sourdough breads and more parmigiano reggiano. Tuscan Kale Salad Melissa Clark 1 bunch Tuscan kale…
Quinoa and Rice Bowl with Kale, Kimchi and Egg
The kale is going absolutely nuts in my garden! It is big, beautiful, and plentiful! The Russian kale is particularly healthy. I had thought the groundhog had killed most of the plants, so I planted more. Guess what, they are all producing now! We discovered rice bowls last year, and I especially like Korean rice…
