2011 - year of new foods - lol
thanks to our CSA share, we are experimenting with lots of new foods, and i am thrilled that DH is so open to it. I didn't expect that!
this week we had a bunch of green tomatoes.
so i made fried green tomatoes - they weren't as awesome as the ones i ate at a particular restaurant when i lived in Atlanta for a summer, but they were pretty good. DH doesn't like tomatoes unless it's sauce or ketchup, so i didn't even think he's try it but he did - and took more too!
we've had kohlrabi too - and i've never seen that in a supermarket. kale was new to us - love kale chips now. strange squat round squash...bland but easy to add to a lot of dishes.
we won't be renewing next year, but i'm pretty excited about how it opened us up to new things.

Baked Kale Chips
Preheat oven to 350. Line rimmed baking pan with parchment paper. Lightly spray paper with Pam (or I guess you could Misto with olive oil).
Prepare kale: Remove leaves from thick stems with knife or kitchen shears and tear/cut the leaves into large bite sized pieces (will shrink down). Discard thick stems. Wash and dry leaves thoroughly with a salad spinner.
Spread leaves over baking pan in thin layer. Lightly spray top of leaves with Pam/Misto. Sprinkle garlic powder (heavily) and salt (lightly) over leaves.
Bake for approximately 10 minutes. Do not stir or toss. If necessary, rotate pan in oven to evenly brown. You will see edges browning, but be careful to not burn the chips!
You may need to toss the chips around and brown another few minutes after the first 10. If the kale is layered too thick, it will cook down but will not get crispy.
*would be great with a variety of seasonings.
*would like to tell you if it holds up well as a leftover, but we didn?t have any left to test
