Who knew rabbit food could be so beautiful?!♥♥♥♥♥
Kitchen hint~ I trim the ends of the kale and sit it in
a bowl with a few inches of water in it...just like you
would do with fresh flowers. Any wilty bits spring
back to life and become crispy again. I do this
with asparagus, or any lettuces...and fresh
herbs. If I have room, I put the whole bowl
into the refrigerator.
We lurve Kale too! I use it mostly in soups. How about you? By the way, hope your day is going better with the new summer schedule. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteJaneen~ Nugget is the only kale eater in our house! Maybe the rest of us should try it!
ReplyDeleteYes, try it! It's really tasty I think. Being such dark green it makes you feel as though you're eating something very good for you.
ReplyDeletethanks for the refresh tip!
ReplyDeletesmart hints...
ReplyDeleteHappy Saturday!
I do this with asparagus but it never occurred to me to do it with leafy greens and fresh herbs. Perfect!
ReplyDeletevery creative ideas coming from this blog and I like it.
ReplyDeleteWhat an EXCELLENT idea!!! Thankyou! Not only is is beautiful, it is brilliant! Have a wonderful weekend! ~Janine XO
ReplyDeletenice tip...enjoy some good kale quite frequently!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great tip, thanks!
ReplyDeleteAm I just too far up north to eat kale? LOL! You southerners are making it sound good! :)
ReplyDeleteI have worked some helping a local caterer - she uses the kale with purple ends and streaks to decorate her platters. I started noticing in more and more recipes - this southern gal has yet to step across the line from eye candy to tickling the taste buds :) Soon, though, I am going to try it soon!
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever idea, and the Kale looks so fresh and green.
ReplyDeleteMy fat flush diet plan calls for Kale three times a week, so far I haven't added it to the menu, but I do other "dark" green veggies.
I keep lettuce in a plastic container with wet paper towels and it stay crisp for a long time.
Love your kitchen tips.
Lucky Nugget !
ReplyDeleteIt has so much color and texture, reminds me of ornamental cabbage in the autumn....
I don't like to eat kale, but it does look quite lovely in the bowl.
ReplyDeleteLailani ~ what a pretty use for kale! I'll have to remember that next time I need a garnish!
ReplyDeleteFarmchick ~ me neither...maybe we can be brave and try it together! ha.
ReplyDeleteI've never eaten kale either, but I'll be nugget loves it!!!
ReplyDeleteNanny ~ it just seems like it would be something you could never chew well enough to swallow! LOL! Maybe you have to cook it forever.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great tip!

Hi Betsy, sorry it has been so long since I've been by...alot going on, etc. Always enjoy your lovely posts. :)
ReplyDeleteThat really is pretty.
ReplyDeleteAnd we eat it sometimes, raw, with a little bit of rice vinegar sprinkled on it.
thats such a handy tip
ReplyDeleteI love kale
and my other 2 like it if its stir fried - its good with some seeds (sunflower, pumpkin) or bits of nuts added.
oh and nice with a teensy bit of balsamic vinegar...
I like this stuff almost as much as I like spring dandelion leaves -- gather before they bloom though or they will be bitter.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading the posts on your blog. I would like to invite you to come over to my blog and check it out. God bless, Lloyd
ReplyDeleteIt is so pretty. Nugget gets the royal treatment.
ReplyDeleteI had my fill of kale when I worked at a Skipper's fast food restaurant sruing college. We used kale to spruce of the salad bar. I usually worked a morning shift or closing shift so I spent a lot of time dressing and undressing the salad bar!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Dawn
Mmmm, I love kale! Saute it with a bit of garlic and olive oil.
ReplyDeleteAbe ~ Nugget loves those dandelions greens, too...even the flowers! :)
ReplyDeleteStevie ~ you know, that sounds very good...you've convinced me to try it!
ReplyDeleteDoes nugget get to chew on that then? It really does look lovely. how clever. :)
ReplyDeleteMmm ~ yes, it's all for Nugget. I buy this much every week and put it in the refrig. for him. What a spoiled bunny.
ReplyDeleteevery time I see things like kale or bok choy or chard or other less well known veggies, I think about buying them but I just don't know how to prepare them. boiling it sounds lousey even tho' I steam spinach and eat it that way.
ReplyDeleteI have a new love of kale. I have been green smoothing it for the last couple of weeks and it is a main ingredient. I have a recipe for a yummy kale and avocado salad. I do this with my basil and other herbs...keeps them fresh.
ReplyDeleteThis kale looks delicious. I must try it some day. It looks like it's packed with antioxidants.
