Welcome to my Blog

Hi, my name is Suanne and I am writing this blog to share some of the tips and recipes I have learned or created with our backyard garden. The garden itself is actually my husband John's but we have had a garden for over 25 years so I have picked up some garden knowledge along the way. We live in Austin, Texas so we are blessed with a year long growing season. We always have something to eat from the garden and this pretty much dictates what we eat. All of our meals are planned around what happens to be growing at the time. One of the biggest challenges is what I like to call crop maintenance. What to do with all of the vegetables? Beyond sharing with the neighbors and friends I am always trying creative approaches to preparing the bounty. So the blog seemed like a good way to both keep track of and share my recipes.

New Kale recipe

I just tried this new recipe in the Nov 2010 issue of cooking light for Roasted Kale. John and I ate the whole bowl while we were waiting some chicken to come off the grill. Definitely a keeper recipe.

Roasted Kale

1 bunch of kales destemmed and chopped
4-5 cloves garlic
1-2 tablespoons olive oil
salt to taste
1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar (ok the recipe called for Sherry vinegar but I didn't have any. I suppose most flavors would also work well.)

Heat the oven to 425. Put a jelly roll pan in the oven while it heats.
Put the first 4 ingredients in a bowl and coat the kale with oil and salt.
Add the kale to the heated pan and spread evenly. Roast for 5-7 minute, stir it around and continue roasting for another 5 minutes until the ends of the kale are crispy but the rest is cooked through. Toss the kale and garlic in a bowl with the vinegar and serve immediately.
