This past weekend started with catch up text session with my good friends Laura.
Laura and I have been great friends since we were ten and we talk often, so we were really just catching up about the last couple work days and plans for the weekend.
In the conversation, she mentioned that she had received Chrissy Teigen’s new cookbook, Cravings, for her birthday. It’s been on my radar because I have seen this book everywhere for the last month or so. Bon Appetit did a fun write up on it and it’s been splashed all over celebrity Instagram’s.
Laura’s Birthday was in mid-March but the book had just arrived and she was clearly flipping thru it as we texted.
She wrote about Cravings, “I’m in love. It’s funny and everything looks yummy.”
Then she sent a screen shot for Christy’s intro to her “Il Buco-Style Kale Salad.”
I so badly want to hate kale, but that endeavor is impossible once you try these Caesar(ish) leafy bastards….It is, indeed, possible to love kale. Sure, it’s covered in giant garlic croutons and heaps of parmesan, but bitch, don’t kill my vibe.
I totally get it.
Kale is… kind of a cliche.
It’s been super-trendy. Buzz-word worthy. Maybe even over done…? (See also: Kale in desserts. Just. No.)
Plus… it’s kale. Touted for it’s nutritional benefits and superiority.
But, here’s the deal.
I have loved kale for a long time. It’s so easy to grow and even easier to cook with. I have even told Adam we should name a kid, “Kale.”
Kidding.
… not really.
However, I would be lying if I didn’t say that it’s overwhelming popularity has made me (and Chrissy, evidently) roll my eyes a bit and want to hate it.
But, try as I may, I just can’t.
In fact, just last week, kale totally made my day.
I ran by Greener Side Garden’s, a local greenhouse, and the owner Alan had bagged up a bunch of spinach for me.
Hydroponic greens at the greenhouse. The colors and textures were amazing.
As we checked out what was popping up in the greenhouse, he also snipped a bunch of kale leaves and handed them over to me like a bouquet of flowers.
I couldn’t help but laugh as I walked back to my car.
I looked like a hipster bridesmaid.
Things got even more comical when I got back home a realized that I didn’t have enough time to wash the kale and bag it up before my spin class.
So, the quick solution?
A mason jar with a little water.
I admired the kale bouquet and even set it in the center of my kitchen table. I even contemplated keeping it there for a hot minute after I got back from the gym because it really was pretty.
But, then I got hungry.
Bitch. Don’t kill my vibe.
… I am 500 weeks pregnant.
And, my pretty kale bouquet became the following great meals.
Goat Cheese Lemon Pasta with Kale
Ginger Beef, Mushroom and Kale Stir Fry
All were perfect for week nights. And, no matter how hard you try, all make it impossible to hate kale.

We are in the process of remodeling out kitchen and have been torn on a backsplash. We have granite coutertops that look just like your and I love the backsplash you did. Can you tell me more about it? TIA
We stumbled over here coming from a different website and thought I may as well check things out. I like what I see so i am just following you. Look forward to looking at your web page repeatedly.
Well done! This looks amazing. We did ours when we first moved in 6 years ago but we took them off but now I don’t like the colour so not having to take them off makes it much easier!
You will find certainly a whole lot of particulars like that to take into consideration. Which is an awesome point to bring up. I provide the thoughts above as general inspiration but clearly you will find questions like the one you bring up where essentially the most significant thing will likely be working in honest beneficial faith. I don?t know if finest practices have emerged about factors like that, but I am sure that your job is clearly identified as a fair game. Both boys and girls really feel the impact of just a moment’s pleasure, for the rest of their lives.
Following study a number of of the weblog posts in your web-site now, and I genuinely like your way of blogging. I bookmarked it to my bookmark web site list and will probably be checking back soon. Pls check out my web site at the same time and let me know what you feel.
I don’t know if it’s just me or if everyone else encountering problems with your blog. It looks like some of the text on your posts are running off the screen. Can someone else please provide feedback and let me know if this is happening to them too? This might be a problem with my internet browser because I’ve had this happen previously. Many thanks
You will discover some exciting points in time in this write-up but I don’t know if I see all of them center to heart. There is some validity but I will take hold opinion till I appear into it further. Superior write-up , thanks and we want much more!
Whoa! This blog looks exactly like my old one! It’s on a totally different subject but it has pretty much the same page layout and design. Great choice of colors!
