Sunday

Farmers: Ayla stares long enough at the guy tuning his instruments that he invites her on the platform and let's her play


Proof
Padron Peppers: Our FAVORITE!



Lots of fresh greens too - hence my motivation for this juice
Apple, kale, zucchini, celery, parsley ginger, lemongrass


Off to the pool. Not really into training today - just wanted to float in the raft. Ugh, the Olympics makes everything look so damn easy!

Ayla was like Ralfie meets Santa in "A Christmas Story" - totally silent, froze up when she hit the chair.

Explaining the Histamatic... I didn't bring my good camera because we biked to the park. Apparently I had the "shake your iPhone to randomly change lens/film" turned on. Didn't mean for all the funky pictured but it makes for an interesting post ;/)

Summer Kale Salad




This is for Arlene, in her quest to find new kale recipes.
Inspired by Diana and David! We recently had a wonderful summer night dinner at our friend and neighbors house (Diana and David) where they served an amazing kale salad). I never had raw kale - I'm glad I tried it!!!

For this salad:
5-6 Kale leaves (de-stemmed, rolled up and chopped)
1 small yellow tomato
olive oil ( just enough to coat leaves)
Feta cheese
Red wine vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste
Toss all ingredients together and enjoy!
If you feel like it - top some sautéed garlic. I tried the salad before and after garlic. It was great before the garlic - but it did add a little "umph".
I think it depends on how much you feel like "preparing" food. Before garlic - it's a no pan - no pain - easy salad to make.
