I haven’t posted anything about my food club for awhile, but it’s still going strong. I’m continually impressed by our ability to get everyone together each month, we completed five months with five dinners, one member hosting each.
Unfortunately this month we lost one gal who moved away for grad school – D you cannot be replaced! – but, if there happens to be anyone reading in the twin cities who’d like to join, here’s your chance…
Last month’s dinner the host had an awesome “make your own pizza” set up complete with a contraption to cook them over a grill – and a luau theme:
For our September dinner, I wanted to find a recipe to use up all the kale we have growing in our garden. Usually I just rip it into big pieces and throw it into whatever I’m making for myself, but not everyone has the same tolerance for hearty greens as I do.
I made this Cosmic Cashew Kale recipe from the very reputable Fat Free Vegan blog. The sauce is so easy and really does a great job of making the kale taste great for people who might not otherwise like it (ahem, husband…) Nathan did love this though!

I have been meaning to try Kale chips! I’m not really a fan of Kale but I think it has to do with how my mother prepared it growing up.
Meh, I can’t say I’m really a fan of the kale chips. Mine always get dried out so that it’s like you’re not even eating a vegetable, but maybe that’s the pont. But it’s like you’re eating seasoned air sort of, and I think most of the nutrients are gone by that point.
Let me know how yours turn out though, maybe I’ve been doing something wrong!
I want to join your club! Alas, not in the area.
Yair and I just started a month of veganism on Sunday. I have SO much respect for you and other vegans. It’s hard. Or at least it’s been somewhat challenging so far. And the logistics of eating at friend’s houses, etc. My goodness!
Will check out that recipe.
xo,

Hey, yeah I just commented on your post yesterday!
If you’re ever in the area you must join us for food club!
ooo sounds delish! thanks for the link. i love the taste of kale, but find the texture way too chewy sometimes … i think i might just need some schooling on how to do it better…and dang too bad i’m not in the twin cities — i’d totally jump in
oh I should mention I use the flat dark green lacinato “dinosaur” kale, not the thicker “curly” kind. I do like both though!
Oh! Good to know! And I made this the other nite and it was GREAT. (Eating leftovers right now!) Husband and MIL both had seconds. Woot thanks!
