Department of Small Miracles



My kale—gorgeous! It’s amazing—I kind of feel about those kale plants the way I feel about my kids—except I’m planning to eat them!

I’ve been sautéing the kale in safflower oil in my big stainless All Clad skillet—a wedding present from Sara and one of my favorite pieces of cookware. We are avid juicers and I love a few kale leaves in my juice. My go-to concoction lately is as follows:

1 granny smith apple (I like GS because they add a nice tartness to the mix)
1 large cuke (or 2 small!)
15 or so baby carrots (I buy a big bag of organic carrots at Costco)
Chunk of raw ginger (I like it pretty spicy)
3 large kale leaves

I juice all that in our Champion and then add a capful of store-bought aloe vera juice. Very tasty and incredibly energizing.
