What I've been cooking

We went in with some friends to buy a share from a local farm and got our first delivery on Thursday. I've been reading up on what to do with Kale and bok choy and napa cabbage since I haven't used them much before.

I posted about my adventures with kale here.

I also read up on nutrition- boy, kale is a nutritional superstar! One cup has 13 times your RDA of vitamin K, almost twice your RDA of vitamin A, 88 percent of your vitamin C and almost 10 percent of your RDA for calcium, all for under 40 calories. Pretty good nutritional density!

As a side dish, I made stir-fried green beans with ginger and garlic, and that was really yum, too!

I actually did something very similar to your frittata last night - I made mini kale-scallion quiches for a party. They were a huge hit. I made 9 bigger ones in a normal muffin tin, thinking Kip and I could have them for dinner before the party and lunch today, but Kip ate them all last night before I could wrap them up!

Yum! I put green onions in mine- garlic and onion and relatives seem to go well with kale.
