oh so nifty: what do you do with all those greens?!

I'm not sure if it's how I eat or where I shop, but I can't make it home from the grocery store without some interesting comments... 'what do you do with all those greens?' 'do you have a lizard at home?... a turtle?' 'I bet you know how to make a salad!' LOL! I know I can't be the only vegan in my town, so am I the only herbivore? I usually leave the store with 90% fresh veggies and the rest beans and grains... oh and beer. ;)

a glimpse of my cart today

Is it really that strange to buy 'real' food? And why are people so afraid of kale? It's yummy, I swear!

my 'loot' for today

I try to eat local and organic all year long. I've found it really is the best way to get the freshest food possible, and also the best tasting! A tomato fresh from your garden in August is SO much better than one that is a few weeks old from thousands of miles away in the middle of December. Think about it.

I guess that makes me a HerbiLocavore. ;) Anyone else with me? Or am I the crazy hippie lady buying up all the 'rabbit food' everyday?

I'm not a vegan but I love kale too! I just used it in my Olive Garden Zuppa Toscana recipe. Unfortunately it also has sausage...and bacon...and heavy whipping cream - oh well! :) Found you on Follow Me Friday.

Love this post! I have tried to make kale chips before but failed miserably. You should do a post on how to use kale!!

Thanks for stopping by!
