I've really been into organic produce lately, but it seems like I stick with the same things - apples, carrots, potatoes. This time, I wanted to try something new. So we bought some kale. I know, I know what most of you are thinking! Kale? Ewwww. But you know what, it is really not so bad. We used a recipe recommended from the Grimmway Farms website.
