Hai guys! First…where has Fall gone?! Or was it ever here?!?! The weather has been insanely nice in Colorado, warm and sunny….no snow and plenty of green trees…and its November. Weird…
But, I will say the benefit of this weather is the extension of the farmers market and the availability of fresh produce. Which is awesome! I’m dropping a recipe for crispy kale with garlic and balsamic vinegar that is super easy and quick to make. My favorite kind of recipe.
Due to the lack of snow, it has eliminated any chance that I will go “skiing” any time soon…thank gawd. Not ready for that adventure yet, but would totally be open to going to a ski lodge that has hot chocolate…yum. I vote for that option!
Anyhoo…how’s the weather in your neck of the woods?! Is it as warm there as it is here? I wonder what winter will be like this year…hmmm.
Back to the crispy kale, I love kale…baked, sauteed, roasted, etc. You can impart a lot of flavor into these leafy greens. I’m also a garlic lover so I will always throw in some garlic with my vegetables. The balsamic vinegar adds a nice balance of flavor and should not be skipped! The best part is the crunch from the crispy ends…delicious. These crispy and garlicky kale make for a most delicious side dish for any meal.
