On Saturday, March 20, at 10am I will be at the Tallahassee Farmer’s Market to answer questions, provide samples, and demonstrate how to use fresh kale (which is now in season). Please join me at the market where you can find fresh, local, seasonal options. You can also try making this easy hummus at home – a great way to use all of your kale (even the stems!). The kale I’m using this week was from my friends at Handsome Harvest Farm.
