  1. That looks yummy! I have been craving fresh greens,probably because it is too hot for any to grow right now! Soon it will be time for us to start planting for fall and winter gardens which will have lots of kale I hope!

  2. I've also broiled fresh kale in the oven to make "chips": sprinkle/toss with olive oil, garlic powder (sprinkle with parmesan or salt after it comes out)--watch it so it doesn't burn, but it does turn a little black. Yummy and healthy snack
    Yours looks awesome!
