Did you make the kale salad?  or ?

BoxerMomma

i didnt make it, bc i was lazy. we went to a pool party yesterday from 3-5pm and i was wiped out. im hoping to make it tonight. but how can it not be good? it's kale! we're kinda obsessed with kale in our house. 

carlinlp

us too.  i always think i'll make kale chips for the kids lunches and then we all sit around and eat them straight out of the oven.

im not sure if yall are eating eggs or bread, but we love to make kale chips, then put a poached or fried egg on top while the kale is still warm and soak up the yolk with crusty bread. 

i also add it to my lentil burritos when mixing the lentils with the enchilada sauce.

if i make the salad tonight, ill let you know how it turns out.  

carlinlp

ohhh, that does sound good.  some of us eat eggs but we are all off bread and grains (except wild brown rice and lentils). 

please let me know how the salad goes.  I can't have my absolute favorite kale salad right now and i'm searching for a yummy replacement.

carlinlp

Butting in as well... Lyndsay, will you share your kale chip recipe? I tried one awhile ago and they just didn't turn out. It was most likely user error, but I'm ready to try again

carlinlp

sure!  I use this one:  https://claryphotoblog.com/2011/01/jettie_and_kale_1.html

 

if you under or over cook they won't taste right!  I find 10 minutes is the perfect amount of time!

<--- has never had kale and isn't sure what it is. How sad.

 

ETA: I was thinking it was like lettuce and it is but how does that turn into chips?

I want to try kale chips too, thanks for the recipe carlinlp! 

and boxer I'd love to know your lentil burrito recipe if you don't mind sharing!

Nessia, kale is a super food and so good! We put it in soups, casseroles, all kinds of things. Even homemade Marinara sauce. I add it raw to our smoothies and make different kale salads a lot. Kale chips are the best though, yummy!

I'm in that boat with you.  You drive; I'll make drinks.
