Winter is supposed to be drawing to a close around here, though the piles of snow hanging around may beg to differ. I love winter, and basically any excuse to curl up by a warm fire with a book, and a cup of tea, but I have to say, I’m pretty excited to start seeing some spring vegetables appearing at the farmer’s markets again….
I love a good slaw. That sounds weird I realize, but in all seriousness in this family, we are big on brassicas. We love things like broccoli, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, kale, the list goes on and on. While Chuck is happy to eat cabbage raw by the chunk I really prefer it in a nice vinegary slaw. Seriously, slaw’s our a dinnertime staple in the summer, and pop in the winter now and then too….
The last few weeks have been absurd around here. Lots events, and lots of illness. I think we ran ourselves ragged, and are now paying for it. But that’s life right?…
Oh for the love of a good kale salad.
Admittedly it took me a while to actually like kale. It had its time in the limelight as the top superfood for a long time, and I just couldn’t get on the train. The leaves were tough, the stems woody, and it never did well in my garden. Then I began to learn the truth about kale.

I realise that it’s summer now, and most places have already begun to move on from beets and radishes, but around here they are just starting to wane. So I’m posting this recipe anyway.
Last weekend Chuck and I found ourselves at the farmers market, ogling all the bright beauties and I couldn’t help myself from buying them. I didn’t need pink and purple radishes or orange beets, but sometimes you just have to go with your gut right?…
