Ideas for Using Garden Veggies Series: Fresh Kale Recipes

YUM! Kale!

It is literally one of our favorites from the garden! Kale is easy to grow, full of nutrition and a very versatile veggie!

And Kale recipes and ideas are the next garden veggie feature in our Ideas for Using Garden Veggies series so that you can make the most of your gardening efforts this year!

Again, for actual gardening ideas, we have spent so much of our time sharing so many gardening ideas on our Garden Gallery of Ideas HERE, Pinterest HERE and Facebook HERE that we hope you are seeing some incredible results with your homegrown food supply.  And, as always, we will continue to share gardening tips and ideas on all our site.

But many sometimes get stumped on what to do with all of the garden veggies. Well, let’s put the Kale to good use!

The first feature for Kale is this gorgeous and yummy Apple Bacon Grilled Kale.  Grilled Kale, broiled kale, baked kale – it’s all amazing and it’s amazing that you can do this with kale and it turns out amazing!  So you can find this Grilled Kale at the Coupons for Wisconsin site HERE. 

You can of course, eat kale in salads mixed with other lettuces or even on it’s own. As a reminder, you can make many dressings – even last minute.

Here’s a list of salad dressing recipes:

• Homemade Berry Vinaigrette
• Homemade Buttermilk Ranch Dressing
• 5-minute Emergency Ranch Dressing 

For more yummy goodness, here’s the links to many other recipes using fresh spinach on our site. *Note, our second favorite use, or the “we need to use this” are in morning smoothies! It’s the best!

• Veggie and Wheat Smoothie with a Fruity Taste
• How to Build Fruit and Veggie Smoothies That Actually Taste Good
• *Our Produce Savings, Ideas, Recipes and Tips section of our site has many more veggie and fruit ideas! 

So what plans do you have for your kale?  Be watching for our absolute favorite recipe for Kale – I would have posted that today too, but I totally forgot to take pictures and it was devoured in minutes…. so no picture luck. But I make it often, so I will try to remember to take pictures before it is eaten up! 

Keep watching for more ideas on using your garden veggies as we have many more veggies recipes and ideas to share this summer with you as you make the most of your garden and farmer’s market finds!
