We love the crispy kale!! it is so good

for thanksgiving i sauteed mixed greens and tossed them with pomegranate juice, dried cranberries, and pine nuts–they were awesome!

we also really like adding them to soups and stews to pack in that nutritional punch!

the fall veggies have been oh so good! (the beets are my all time favorite)

thanks for providing us with such yummy goodness!

I just did a post with three greens recipes on the Richmond Food Collective! One of them is even from Ali!

Thanks so much for this!

i got to try your kale the past weekend! i’m growing red russian kale too, but yours is SO much bigger. i made kale chips with them and they were a big hit.

i have an overflow of kale (or most greens) as i uhm…have like 45 sq ft of greens (kale, spinach, chard) for 2 people. I’ve made kale and potato soup, sauteed greens (olive oil, chili peppers, garlic) over polenta or grits with a fried egg and parmesan, polenta quiche-style with chard and mushrooms and gruyere, 5 minutes greens (slice into thin strips– just pile up leaves, roll ‘em and cut them in to thin strips from top to bottom– works for collards too!), heat olive oil, chili pepper, garlic, and then add the greens– they will cook in 5 minutes. really.

i have my eye on this- roasted pumpkin and creamed kale lasagna as a weekend project.
