I have been enjoying kale for about four years now. It seems that every food magazine and food show recently is using this nutrient rich green. Just this morning I saw in my new Bon Appetit Magazine a grilled kale and apricot salad that I must try. But, now here is another wonderful recipe from Gourmet Quick Kitchen for kale that I have enjoyed at least six times and I love it! It is so easy and with the super nutritious kale you can’t go wrong. I made this dish again last Friday night with kale that this young actress brought me from her parents’ garden. It was wonderful with spicy sausage topped with shaved Pecorino Romano. Oh my gosh! By the way check out Ashley in this movie that’s just been released on HBO. What could be better – pasta, kale, and a good movie?

I love good crab cakes and this recipe is so much like them without the expense. It meets criteria for an easy, quick and yet inexpensive way to feed a family and packs a lot of flavor.
This is one of my all time favorite recipes. It is easy to put together and it taste great. To me it is comfort food. Rich gravy made with white wine added mushrooms over rice. Heaven on a plate! The recipe came from my long ago friend Cile that lives in Baton Rouge where great food runs rampant. It is one of those dishes that you can throw together in 20 minutes and leave it alone for about an hour. When you return to check on it the flavors are unbelievable. Trust me if you like a nice rich gravy with tender strips of steak this is it!
