I can’t believe another weekend has come and gone and that we are already in the middle of July!! I’m trying so hard to savor each and every moment of summer. As I’m writing this post I’m sitting out by the pond my husband built listening to the waterfall. It’s one of my very favorite summer things to do. I’m looking at my flower gardens that are growing like crazy as well as our veggie garden that is producing record crops. Like I mentioned in my post on 5 Ways to use garden fresh Spinach I’m trying to be very purposeful on using my garden veggies and this week my kale is overflowing, so I needed to find some yummy kale recipes. So I got on Pinterest and found 5 recipes that use kale.
Kale, Black Bean & Avocado Bowl
This looks really interesting! I love all the flavors separately so I bet I’d love them together.
Kale Salad with Citrus, Avocado & Feta
I have never tried a kale salad but I hear they are really good. Can’t wait to try this one.
I’ve never tried kale with pasta but I’m sure it’s very similar to spinach and pasta. Another great one I can’t wait to try.
I love a good spinach and artichoke dip, why not try kale??
and of course, I can’t leave off my very favorite recipe that uses kale: Zuppa Toscana Soup: Olive Garden Copy Cat soup. Perfect use for kale.
If you have an overabundance of kale like I do you can freeze kale. It’s very easy to do and you can find directions here:
I hope you found a recipe you like from the 5 recipes that use garden fresh kale that I shared. Do you grow kale? Do you have any kale recipes that you love?? I would love if you could leave me a link or share with me.

I'm growing kale for the first time this year, love the fresh veggies.
That's awesome Linda! Don't you just love to go out there in your garden and just enjoy everything growing! Have a great day!
Great list of recipes! That salad looks really good with the grapefruit and feta. I tried growing some kale this year but some bugs in my garden are eating it all! I grew some romaine and oak leaf lettuce though and that seems to be okay and I have made lots of salads with it. Do you have any tips for keeping the bugs off of your kale? I need to look that up or figure something out. I really wanted to be able to use it.
Kimberlee- we use a powder called seven. If we didn't ours would be eaten too! Hopefully you can get it figured out soon. Thanks for stopping by!Sent from my iPhone
