Recipes: Kale Chips and Turnips!


 Beautiful Turnips 


Don't know what to do with turnips? This is my favorite way to eat them. It's simple and you can freeze the leftovers for later.










Turnip Smash


3 medium turnips, peeled and cubed
 1 large russet or red potato, cubed or 2 pounds of carrots sliced or 1/2 of both.
salt and pepper to taste
¼ or so of  cup milk of choice
1-2 Tbsp butter

Place turnips and potatoes in saucepan and add cold water just enough to cover. Bring to a boil. Lower heat and cook at a simmer until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Remove pan from heat. Drain the water. Add milk and butter and mash with a potato masher or food processor. Adjust amounts of milk and butter to taste and consistency. Add salt and pepper to taste.



Baked Kale Chips


1 bunch kale – curly works best
1 tablespoon olive oil
Sea salt, to taste

Preheat oven to 300°F. Rinse and dry the kale, then remove the stems. Cut into large pieces, toss with olive oil in a bowl then sprinkle with salt. Arrange leaves in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, or until crisp. Allow to cool.
