So Im trying to log some of the yummy things I've made lately, so I can dip into my recipe vault, see what I paired it with, and share it with my readers, family, etc.
First ... Kale.. where have you been my whole life?
I never ever ever tried it until last week.
I bought a huge bag, and pinned a ton of Kale recipes.. dips, etc...
The first thing I did was make Kale chips, (not pictured.)
I just sprinkled some washed kale with olive oil - it was already pre-chopped in the bag...
Baked at 275 for about 30 minutes. It sat on the stove and as it cooled & dried it became crunchy and wonderful.. I ate the whole pan, and I am not exaggerating. Its Kale? How bad can it be if I eat it all.. was what I was thinking as I shoveled it in my face.. Yum..
On to more Kale.
Kale/Artichoke Dip
(recipe adapted from tablespoon.com)
1 14oz can artichokes, drained and chopped
4 oz cream cheese softened
6oz greek yogurt plain
1/2 c shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup shredded parmesan
1 teaspoon garlic salt
6 oz kale - chopped (8-10 cups)
combine all ingredients and only a 1/4 cup of the mozzarella.
bake at 375 for 20 min or until slightly browning at the top
Add remaining mozzarella & cook until melted.

So good.
It was my lunch re-heated the next day too.
Good "Mom Meal" that I can eat in small portions for days at a time...
Pioneer Woman's Black Beans.
These beans are a meal in itself.. it needs no meats or sides.
I used it to make taco pizza the next day.
Along with my dip and beans... I made another dip which I aquired after a girls night last weekend, and my friend turned me on to Carrot Chips! I immediately went to the grocery store the next day...
They are great. Never noticed them before.
Better way to cut out eating a while bag of tortillas too..
Another creation made this past week were cupcakes.
I took a cupcake order for my friend's son who was turning 6
Ninja Turtles were the request.
I do find baking and cooking relaxing.
I had my coffee, my candle & my buttercream...
I finished the order just in time to deliver them for the party.
They were so cute.. and delicious.. (I always taste my baking.. especially my orders!)
SO ... In order to log all my newest recipes, crafts, dinners, and other things I hope to make "Made by Moi" a new weekly entry for me.. we will see..
