Ideas for Kale and Celery

How nice to keep getting kale into July. Kale is definitely the trendy vegetable. They’re even talking about it on the Huffington Post: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/drew-ramsey-md/health-benefits-kale_b_3529768.html. I’m including one smoothie recipe here, but check out this Serious Eats post about kale cocktails:http://drinks.seriouseats.com/2013/06/cocktails-with-kale-juice-recipes-green-juice-in-cocktails-rum-drinks-gin-whiskey.html.

Did you try last week’s celery? And now another bunch this week. Wonderful! Obviously you noticed it’s very different from grocery-store-celery. After a lot of experimenting, I find we like it finely chopped into things like tuna and chicken salad, and whatever I can’t use right away, I chop up and freeze for later. Those leaves are absolutely delicious, so I always include them as well.
