Kale the hype

There's been hype around kale for a few years now & although it isn't necessarily the nutrient powerhouse everyone thinks it is it's still one of my favorite foods to cook with because its so sturdy & it always pairs with delicate quinoa & yams and I eat quinoa and or yams every day so my fridge is always packed with kale.

Made this with a pot of cooled quinoa, can do it woth leftovers, tastes best chilled. 

I cubed 1 yam & 2 golden beets

Tossed them in oil, salt, pepper, garlic, paprika, tumeric and baked it. (we are a tumeric home, the health benefits are unbelievable. Make yourself some Golden Milk.) 

Baked for 30-40 minutes then turned the oven off, covered them with kale and closed the oven. This makes the kale nice & crispy a la kale chips minus the fear of burning

Skinned and fried some almonds in olive oil

Folded it all in together and made a spicy tahini dressing
