Hm. something to try. I hear produce that is in season together tastes good together. I’ll have to start thinking…

Haha I thought this was going to be a recipe made with strawberries and kale! That would have been a new one

Strawberries don’t really start to become available here until mid to late June, but when they are available they’re simply heavenly. Local kale we can get year-round, or almost year-round, due to a cool climate. I love fresh, seasonal foods.

I am so excited about this kale chip recipe! I primarily use kale in smoothies, but also like it stirred into a pot of minestrone and sauteed up with some bacon and garlic. But those chips . . . I’m going to have to try them!

We are also suckers for strawberries, and, like you, I can hardly bear to cook them. Ever. During the strawberry season, we almost always have them around (they’re my summertime Vitamin C fruit! Like I need an excuse to eat them! I just bought 4 more pounds of them this morning . . . yum!

Best,
Sarah

PS – Though you’re still new in the leafy green department, try a baby spinach salad with strawberries, pecans and balsamic vinaigrette. It is so yummy, light, and everyone will think it’s “fancy.”

I’ve always wondered how to make kale chips!

Thanks for sharing this in today’s Fight Back Fridays carnival.

We love kale here! I always saute it in olive oil with garlic, sea salt and pepper. Sometimes I’ll throw in some mushrooms. I’ve always been stumped on how to prepare it in other ways. Thanks for this great idea! I will be trying it soon.

I love me some strawberries too!

It’s funny I always like strawberries with bacon, I like to make a spinach salad with bacon and sliced strawberries. I make a dressing out of the bacon fat and vinegar. Very scrumptious.

I love strawberries, kale, not so much. I picked up 2lbs of Louisiana strawberries at the market yesterday. I told my boys this is probably the last of the season, so we’re going to enjoy it Sunday for Mother’s day.

And what it is with red-heads not like their hair color. Both my boys have red hair (I have dark) and they hate it! My youngest is always talking about how he wants to dye it black. Silly kids. I would kill for red hair!
