      My sister cooked up some of our swiss chard (which has similar characteristics to kale) with some slow-sauteed garlic and red onions and mushrooms in olive oil. It was absolutely amazing – the trick was cooking the garlic and onions and mushrooms together over low heat until they’re soft and sweet, then adding the chard or kale and cooking just…[Read more]

      Kale with fruit:

      I really like this one because it brings a sweetness to the Kale. I’ve been using apples and peaches, but have also put in some blackberries which worked well.

      -cooking wine (either white or red – each give it a slightly different taste/you could use cider vinegar as well)
      -cook the fruit first in the wine
      -add…[Read more]

    Hi all. Two things. First, I want to share with you some kind words from the Irving Park WIC office, read below. Second, I am in need of some volunteers for the compost and WIC donations. For the compost, I am looking for 1-2 volunteers to help keep it maintained, it’s fun, and would only require 20 – 30 minutes/week. Contact me if you are…[Read more]

    Hi all. If any one wants to put some mulch around there plants, especially in this heat, the compost pile on the left (the full one) would be excellent. Just dig in a bit and there’s a great mix of compost, straw and saw dust. I put some around my onions yesterday. Happy gardening! Erin
