Roasted Green Chile
My godparents live in Albuquerque, New Mexico and, when I was little, they used to send us 40-lb burlap sacks filled with green chiles around this time of year.

This kale salad is one of my favorite foods right now. It’s easy to make, packed with vitamins and nutrients, and totally delicious. Also, it holds up well as left-overs. If I make it for dinner and toss it with the dressing, it’s one of the few salads that can survive (dressed) in a container […]
