One of the best parts of the CSA I belong to is when they bring us recipes. They actually make up the recipes so when you come to the market you can try them and see if that is something you would enjoy. I added a little flourish to this one, but oh so yummy! Take away the kale (which can be torn instead of sliced) and you have a very kid-safe recipe that will get kids into the kitchen and off the couch.
