Kale Avocado Salad

Kale has become quite trendy lately, turning up in various forms everywhere from supermarkets to farmer's markets to restaurant menus. This new surge in kale popularity is something I am quite excited about because I have always loved kale. Usually, I will saute or steam kale and have as a side dish for dinner. Sometimes I like to bake it into lovely little crispy kale chips. However, my new favorite use for kale is to prepare it raw in a salad. It's super easy to prepare and so delicious.

Broccoli and Ham Quiche

Quiche is one of those quintessential dishes that pops up just about everywhere. What's wonderful is that it is so beautifully versatile. Once you have your basic mixture of eggs, milk, and cream, you can add whatever your heart desires..or whatever you have leftover in your fridge. In this recipe I use fresh steamed broccoli, cooked just until it begins to get tender, and slices of maple glazed ham. A little cheddar cheese adds a savory, salty bite.
