When I made these kale chips, I told Eric they would taste just like pizza. When he tasted them, he was like, “Oh yeah, JUST like pizza!” Not sure if he was kidding or not. I think he might have been. In any case, they do have a nice tomatoey Italian flavor profile. Since we’ve […]

Beet, Fennel & Pomegranate Kale Salad
I’ve never been a big fan of beets, but I have set my mind to deciding to like them. About 7 or 8 years ago, I made a conscious decision to start liking olives and capers. I had always avoided them like the plague, but one day I went to the olive bar at Whole Foods […]
Field Roast and Kale
I suppose you can tell by now that I am a huge fan of kale. We always have at least two bunches of kale in fridge at all times and I throw it in everything. Looking back at the non-dessert recipes I’ve posted, they almost all include kale. Who knows, maybe I’ll find a way […]
Chanterelle Mushroom & Kale Risotto
Earlier this week, I stopped at MacPherson’s vegetable stand and was delighted to find that chanterelle mushrooms have come into season. Chanterelles have a unique, light, buttery flavor and a great smooth consistency. Chanterelles are found in mossy coniferous forests and are gathered by mushroom foragers and then sold to local produce retailers. The folks at MacPherson’s […]

Kale Salad
This kale salad is one of my favorite foods right now. It’s easy to make, packed with vitamins and nutrients, and totally delicious. Also, it holds up well as left-overs. If I make it for dinner and toss it with the dressing, it’s one of the few salads that can survive (dressed) in a container […]
Green Juice
I was inspired by Kris Carr to incorporate a green juice into our daily routine. This is what Kris Carr says about green juice: “guzzling green goodness balances your pH and gives you a direct shot of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, protein and oxygen”. What better thing to have first thing in the morning to start […]
Basil Kale & White Bean Soup
In the middle of summer, I’m always looking for ways to use the abundance of basil we grow in our garden. Summer salads with basil are great, as are pestos, but it’s been quite a cool summer overall. My sister arrived on Thursday from Baltimore, where it’s been hovering in the high 90’s and low […]
