About


One of my favorite things in life is my garden. It’s true that I’m not a master at gardening. Often times my vegetables don’t always produce as fruitfully as I would like, but it’s still a lot of fun. The most rewarding part of vegetable gardening is eating what you’ve grown.
Tonight I picked kale. Lovely, leafy, green kale. My Weight Watcher’s cookbook had a terrific recipe that I modified just a bit by using garlic oil and thyme. Turned out to be a very yummy way to eat those greens!
