I was looking for nutritious food that would fill me up with fiber and all the other good stuff. That's when I looked at kale differently. First, I used it in smoothies and juices, then I started to cook with it (kale soup is really good actually), and after that I only discovered the true taste of raw kale, and it was soo good, that I am still making kale salad every week. :) I missed you here, dear friend! :)Marinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05573855440431259324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7633259752771480782.post-7198150431468300062012-06-26T12:34:10.205-07:002012-06-26T12:34:10.205-07:00I hope too, Liz, but it's only beginning on th...I hope too, Liz, but it's only beginning on the hot, the hottest months here are July and August...Marinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05573855440431259324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7633259752771480782.post-86260576234100559002012-06-26T12:33:20.293-07:002012-06-26T12:33:20.293-07:00No,not the pool, only AC! water in the pool in the...No,not the pool, only AC! water in the pool in the middle of the day is boiling hot! :)Marinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05573855440431259324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7633259752771480782.post-82459737919166113142012-06-26T09:36:43.877-07:002012-06-26T09:36:43.877-07:00I am not a big fan of kale but peaches look so yum...I am not a big fan of kale but peaches look so yummy-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18125504348694439320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7633259752771480782.post-73625145138710939012012-06-26T07:13:35.052-07:002012-06-26T07:13:35.052-07:00And that dressing is super easy to make too, Jane!...And that dressing is super easy to make too, Jane! :)Marinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05573855440431259324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7633259752771480782.post-32472442474903928052012-06-26T07:13:01.216-07:002012-06-26T07:13:01.216-07:00Thanks Valerie.

Lemon and avocado will tenderize kale. <br />Let me know if it helps. :)Marinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05573855440431259324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7633259752771480782.post-36390315888730548922012-06-26T07:03:23.842-07:002012-06-26T07:03:23.842-07:00We eat kale mostly raw, salads and other meals.
