A Delicious Kale Salad that Doesn’t Taste Raw

Kale has easily become one of the most healthful ingredients in salads today. The health benefits of kale and the virtues of eating this superfood raw—like in salad—are many, including being one of the most nutrient dense foods around. Besides being high in fiber to help you feel full (and regular), every 1 cup of raw kale providing nearly 3 grams of protein and contains more vitamin C than an orange.

With stats like that, you really can’t ignore kale’s super delicious super powers any longer.

This easy kale salad is one you can make up any night of the week, yet it’s pretty enough to add to any holiday dinner table.

But even better, because kale likes to sit and soak in it’s dressing and still hold it’s leafy shape, this kale salad is awesome for the buffet table or to take to potlucks, too. In fact, the last photo in this post is from when I pulled it straight from the fridge and into a bowl to eat for lunch 2 days after I made it.

Now that’s a trendy salad that stands the test of time.continue to the recipe… about Kale Salad with Cranberries, Apple and Cheddar Cheese

Choosing a main course dinner idea is pretty easy to do. But when it comes to rounding out the meal with some extra plant nutrition, it can add another layer of what-to-make-wondering to your meal planning.

That’s why I depend on a few simple recipe ideas for side salads and dressings that are easily customized to dress up or dress down, depending on what extra ingredients I have on hand.

Quick Rustic Apple Tart and Crushing On Three Many Cooks

Apples dashed with brandy make this simple tart with an oatmeal crumble topping shine, and gives the perfect excuse to enjoy with a dollop of ice cream.

Quick Rustic Apple Tart with Oatmeal Crumble | foodiecrush.com #rustic #recipe #easy #sweets

There are few things that bring a family together more than those centered around food. For the Anderson family, the heartbeat of their kitchen is the door to their soul.

In their memoir, Three Many Cooks: One Mom, Two Daughters, Their Shared Stories of Food, Faith and Family acclaimed cookbook writer Pam Anderson and her two daughters Maggie Keet and Sharon Damelio, weave the good, the bad and the funny recollections of their mother daughter relationships with well-loved family recipes into one of my favorite books of the summer.

Writing a memoir with three different authors is no easy task. But somehow, this book’s stories and voice flow effortlessly into one.

“Our book was first conceived as a traditional cookbook, but when our editor, Pamela Cannon, read the stories behind the recipes, she asked us simply to write our stories,” shares Pam. “Since our blog is story-driven, we liked that idea too.”

Three Many Cooks on foodiecrush.com

With chapters that deal with Pam and Maggie’s challenging growth as a mother and a daughter who both know best, to the rebellious years that led Sharon to discovering her passion for food and culinary school, the stories that are shared are sometimes serious, always introspective, and flared by bitter fights, insight and soul searching, forgiveness and growth.

“We read one another’s work along the way and one story led to another. When it came time to stitch the stories, the book came together pretty naturally.”

Each chapter is told by either Pam, Maggie or youngest daughter Sharon, each of whom contribute to the food blog Three Many Cooks. Within each chapter the story telling is totally compelling and conversationally entertaining. These girls aren’t just good cooks, they’re great writers.

Quick-Rustic-Apple-Tart-with-Oatmeal-Crumble-foodiecrush.com-23

Food, Faith and Family

This book is one of my favorite of the year. The stories are told in a lively way that makes me feel like I’m one of the family, sitting down at their kitchen counter with a glass of wine, wryly spying on the drama and discovery that often enfolds.

At the essence of each story a shared dish is looped in, with the recipe provided at the end of each chapter. And the recipes…oh, they are good. I had a hard time choosing which recipe to feature, and Pam shared that they too each had their favorites.

“Sharon’s especially proud of her Perfect Carrot Cake. Maggy loves the Pumpkin-Walnut Scones, and I’m partial to my late father’s Grilled Lemon Chicken.”

This book may have never been written had it not been for the relenting work ethic of the family that starts with Pam. As an enterprising mother of two young girls with a husband starting a career in the clergy, Pam did whatever she could, and everything she could, to keep her family afloat. A tireless worker who sacrificed much of herself including time with her children, Pam’s dogged resourcefulness shaped her entire family.

She is proud. She is a success. She is a woman I whole-heartedly admire.

Quick-Rustic-Apple-Tart-with-Oatmeal-Crumble-foodiecrush.com-25

And now, my list of 10 Q’s for Pam, Maggy and Sharon.

1. Describe your blog in 3 words:

Maggy: Real life recipes

2. If you could be one blogger other than yourself, who would you be?

Maggy: I love Jen Yu’s blog, Use Real Butter. She’s a gifted photographer who lives in a wildly beautiful part of the world. She captures her outdoorsy, Colorado lifestyle alongside recipes that feel very true to my own tastes: often celebratory, but mostly just inviting, exciting comfort food. Right now I’m particularly enjoying her social media streams as she captures the autumn leaves – and the adventures of her new puppy, Neva!

3. Which 3 blogs do you follow/are obsessed with/can’t live a day without?

Maggy: Use Real Butter, A Thought For Food and Sprouted Kitchen. All three of these blogs have beautiful, inspirational photography and approachable recipes that I always want to cook.

4. What is the one kitchen tool you could never give up?

Sharon: I can make due with crappy wooden spoons, rickety cutting boards, and flimsy whisks, but I need a good, sharp knife. I have the Global Oriental Cook’s Knife, which is a little shorter than their traditional chef’s knife (18cm rather than 20) and a little lighter. I have small hands, and this knife fits like a glove. It’s got this gorgeous, graceful shape and their signature one-piece stainless steel design. I can’t say enough about this knife—easy to clean and sharpen and a dream to use.

5. What dish are you obsessed with mastering that you just can’t get quite right?

Sharon: Paella. My husband and I had a disastrous paella attempt our first New Year’s Eve together, and now it’s become an NYE tradition. Though we’ve gotten to the point where our recipe is really good…we haven’t quite perfected the technique such that it reliably produces that deep brown, crispy crust on the bottom. We just moved into a new apartment that has a gas stove (finally!) and I’m excited to try paella again. I think electric and induction burners make it nearly impossible to get the crust. You need fire!

Quick-Rustic-Apple-Tart-with-Oatmeal-Crumble-foodiecrush.com-26

6. What did you have for dinner last night?

Sharon: Kale salad with roasted sweet potatoes, apples, dried cranberries, spiced pepitas, and homemade balsamic vinaigrette. And a bottle of Segura Viudas Brut Reserva Heredad Cava. My husband and I make this salad—or some seasonal version of it—two or three times a week. We love to eat and drink, and we’ve found that having a big, beautiful salad on the weeknights keeps our calories in check, so we can enjoy wine with dinner most nights and heavier fare on the weekends.

7. What’s one secret talent outside of the kitchen nobody knows about you?

Sharon: I am a super-fast reader. Depending on the week, I can plow through up to 4 books in a week. I read everything from biographies to theology to culinary science, but novels are a huge source of relaxation and enjoyment for me.

8. You’re happiest when cooking/eating?

Pam: I’m happiest in the kitchen with Maggy and Sharon, my sons-in-law, Andy and Anthony, and my David, and we’re all doing our thing to make dinner and having fun along the way. And there are two new additions to our family—Dashiell, my 9-month old grandson and Eloise, my grand French bulldog, who adore one another. It’s a lively, lovely scene.

9. The one secret ingredient to your success is? 

Pam: Stay open.

10. What’s next for you three? Do you see another book in your future?

Pam: See answer to previous question ☺

About the Recipe

This recipe for quick apple tart (the apples are dashed with brandy!) is just one of Pam’s contributions to the book. It comes from the chapter in which she describes her time as the food editor to the then start-up Cooks Illustrated, where she wrote, created, and tirelessly tested recipes under its founder Chris Kimball for the next nine years.

Sounds like a dream job. But there were drawbacks. Pam found herself becoming too much a perfectionist when it came to entertaining, trying to create the perfect meal. “Eventually I started to realize that many of the recipes I had so carefully developed in lab-like conditions often didn’t work in real time.”

On the flip side, others were reluctant to cook for her. They were too nervous to cook for a professional, worried their food wouldn’t live up to her standards. This is when she had an epiphany.

“I started caring less about perfection and more about connection,” Pam writes. “For me it’s a good night not when the apple tart I’ve made is perfect, but when the conversation has been significant, and people have made some connection of the mind or heart or spirit.”

Following is her recipe for Quick Rustic Apple Tart with Oatmeal Crumble Topping. It’s just one more reason to cheers Three Many Cooks for giving us an entire book of reasons to connect with one another over food.

Quick Rustic Apple Tart

Apples dashed with brandy make this simple apple tart shine and gives the perfect excuse to enjoy with a dollop of ice cream.

Ingredients

  • For the Tarts
  • 1 recipe Perfect Apple Pie Filling with Cinnamon and Cognac
  • 2 refrigerated pie crusts from at 16.7-ounce package
  • For the Oatmeal Crumble Topping
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup old-fashioned oatmeal
  • ½ cup dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 6 tablespoons butter melted by not hot
  • For the Perfect Apple Pie Filling with Cinnamon and Cognac
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 4 pounds crisp firm apples such as Granny Smith, cored, peeled and sliced ¼-inch thick, about 12 heaping cups
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons brandy
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

  1. For the Tarts
  2. Prepare Perfect Apple Pie Filling with Cinnamon and Cognac and refrigerate. Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat oven to 400 degrees F.
  3. Meanwhile, mix the flour, oatmeal, sugar, and cinnamon. Stir in the butter with a fork until well combined then use your fingers to form clumps.
  4. Unroll one of the refrigerated pie doughs and place it onto one side of a 12 X 18-inch baking sheet covered with parchment paper or a Silpat liner. Spoon half of the apple filling onto the dough, leaving a 2-inch border all around. Bring pie dough over filling, pleating it to fit. Sprinkle a portion of the crumble topping over the exposed filling.
  5. Repeat the process with the remaining dough, filling and crumble. Bake until golden brown, 40-45 minutes. Cool slightly, serve warm with ice cream if you’d like. The tart can be made several hours ahead of time and warmed in a 300 degree F oven for 15 minutes.
  6. For the Perfect Apple Pie Filling with Cinnamon and Cognac
  7. Mix sugar, cinnamon, and salt; toss with the apples. Heat butter in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat until it looks pale nutty brown. Add apple mixture; cover and cook until the apples soften and release their juices, about 7 minutes. Uncover and continue to cook until juices thicken to a light syrup, 1 to 2 minutes longer.
  8. Meanwhile, whisk cornstarch, brandy, and vanilla in 1 cup of water. Stir into apple mixture until it thickens, less than a minute. Transfer apples to a jelly roll pan to cool quickly. Refrigerate or set in a cool place until apples cool to room temperature.
  9. Recipe reprinted from Three Many Cooks: One Mom, Two Daughters, Their Shared Stories of Food, Faith and Family

Fall flavors meet Cobb salad with candied walnuts and bacon #salad #squash #bacon #recipe #avocado

Autumn Cobb Salad

Roasted squash, crunchy apples and dried cherries add seasonal freshness to this autumnal cobb salad, dressed in a spiced apple cider vinaigrette and topped with candied walnuts.

Autumn Cobb Salad | foodiecrush.com #recipes #dressing #apples #easy #healthy #butternutsquash #chicken #harvest

It’s that time of year where I’m either straddling the urge to pull out my chunky sweaters and hunker down with ooey gooey comfort food, or dig in my heels and cling to the straggling bounty of summer and all the freshness it holds.

Yesterday I was debating what to share here on the bloggity blog so I took to Facebook and Instagram and asked what you wanted to see.

“🔜 I’m working on tomorrow’s recipe post. Would you rather see a weeknight chicken pasta 🍗🍝 or a decadent fall-inspired salad 🌽🍅? Getting fresh pickings and loving fall’s bounty at the farmer’s market.”

Your comments, clicks and likes overwhelmingly say you’re in the same camp I am. Long live the salad! So at your request, I present a fall-inspired leafy beauty that will con any non-salad eater into giving the greens a go with the tease of chicken, bacon and eggs and more.

Apple, Pear and Mushroom Green Salad with Orange Mustard Vinaigrette | foodiecrush.com #recipes #healthy #dressing

‘Tis the season to embrace balance.

It’s the time to do the dance and fancy footwork when toeing the line between giving into each and every one of your holiday mouth cravings (hello to Mom’s homemade fudge) and listening to your head—and often times your bloated belly—and take a side step to the lighter side of everything bright, fresh and joyful that winter’s produce forks over.

Literally.

It bears repeating that salads should never, ever be bastioned to only spring and summer eats. Let the cucumbers and tomatoes wait for their day in the sun because winter is the time to really play with our produce.

This salad is one of my everyday favorites. In fact, it was one of my normal weekday lunches that after I put it together made me thing, “Geez, that’s a great salad. I should make that for the blog sometime.”

Duh.

Why I think that the way I eat on a simple, everyday level isn’t blog worthy astounds me sometimes. Because good food doesn’t have to be fancy, or ironic or always Pinterest perfect. Nope, not at your house or here at mine, either.

Friday Faves on foodiecrush.com

Happy Friday Faves, my friends.

It’s official. Fall has arrived. Two days in and I’m talking about the weather on the blog again like the old boys playing cards at the senior citizen center. But this time I’m totally okay with it because it’s my favorite season.

The food—apples, peaches, casseroles, crock-pot, comfort, oh my. The clothes—because layering and wrapping to cocoon is always flattering. And sleeping under an open window—it’s heaven to fall asleep to chirping crickets and wake up to the crisp chill on my face.

hike-Brighton

For me, fall says it’s okay to slow down. Let the clock tick a little slower, give myself a break to enjoy the changes going on around me. Yesterday I did just that when I headed to our beautiful Utah mountains to hike the hills with two friends. It’s part of my continuing plan to take more time for myself and my well-being, and take time for my friends like I talked about here.

My challenge to you this weekend is to set a timer for 5 minutes and do—nothing.

Zero. Nada. Don’t fiddle with your Instagram. Don’t read or do the dishes. Just sit, look around and soak it all in before it all changes again, because it will change again in what seems like an instant and you don’t want to miss it.

Apple and Pear Chocolate Hand Pies

Apple and Pear Chocolate Hand Pies

Valentine’s Day. Just knowing that someone loves you should be enough. But…if that’s the case…then why is it so much fun to give, and get, a little love?

Apple and Pear Chocolate Hand Pies

I vividly remember my 3rd grade Valentine’s Day. My doily and construction heart decorated valentine’s box eagerly awaited a valentine, any valentine, from the debonair, brown haired, almost as tall as me, Kendall.

To my relief, his valentine to me was deposited in my gussied up shoebox, along with the same valentine to the other 28 in my class, and it was just about as special as the carbon copy sentiment he gave to everyone else.

It was my first lesson in love: You have to put in the effort to make it special.

This year I’ve already received a warm-up Valentine’s Day Gift Basket from my friends at Harry & David. Once again they’ve proved that they are the experts at knowing how to make the recipient feel special. I wish they’d been around to talk to Kendall…

Apple and Cherry Phyllo Strudel | foodiecrush.com

Apple and Cherry Strudel Plus Friday Faves

My secret to an easy dessert? I start in my grocery store freezer for an Apple and Cherry Strudel that’s every bit as easy to pull together as a traditional homemade pie.

Apple and Cherry Phyllo Strudel | foodiecrush.com

Hey, look at that. It’s November 1 and the entertaining season has officially begun!

But that doesn’t mean it has to be haaaarrrd. Easy entertaining should be just that, EASY, and our guests don’t need to be filled in on all of our little secrets. Us home cooks need to have a few tricks up our sleeves, right?

It seems like everyone does pie for holiday entertaining, but once in a while I want to buck the system and go left instead of right which means delivering a dessert strudel worthy of my German D.N.A.

Did I say dessert? Heck, in my book, this recipe works for breakfast too, and that’s the real sign of a great treat.

Pork Belly Sliders | Foodiecrush.com

Pork Belly Sliders and Recipes for Superbowl Bites

I have a long tradition with the Superbowl, and most of them I even remember past the 3rd quarter.

FoodieCrush-Pork-Belly-Sliders-001

Now let me just say, in my defense, those memories usually depended upon which team I picked to win. And sometimes I wasn’t such a good picker.

Back in the day when my friends and I still thought we could hang like we did in college, if your chosen team was scored upon in any which way, it was a side game bet for our fellow party goers to see just how easily us losers could traverse crawling OUT the living room window, dropping DOWN to the driveway and partaking of a penalty shot. Oh. How. Dumb. In. Our. Youth. Yet another reason I’m thankful my twenties are in my rear view mirror.

This year, given my beloved 49ers are out of the running, it REALLY, really, really is all about the food: making, eating and grazing again.

FoodieCrush Pork Belly Sliders
G-dawg was fiddling around with a recipe for Pork Belly—which turned out deliciously—to top Ramen—that failed miserably—so we had a bunch of the bacon-ey slabs of love left over.
Always a fan of pork in any form—especially when it’s salty, peppery and crusty—he pulled together a quick and delicious version of a Banh Mi sandwich but in a manageable mini variety.

He’s a good cook that boy.

Baked Apple Pie Cups

Baked Apple Cups

Our neighbor has an apple tree. My daughter covets that tree. Patiently waiting. Waiting since spring, when I cut down our apricot tree that I don’t think she’s yet forgiven me for.

Baked Apple Pie Cups

So now that the apples have finally ripened for harvest, we nonchalantly wandered over to check out the tree, and borrow a few apples. Yes mom, she said we could.

What to do with them apples? My Smudge’s request has been apple pie—again with the pie! When will this girl’s pie obsession be satiated? Um, maybe when I bake her a pie?

But with no time to make a full blown crust, I pulled a puff pastry from the freezer and baked up an alternative that put her pleadings on the back burner, for now…

Lisa’s secret to a crunchy, but light as air fritter is rice flour, which makes My Lemony Kitchen‘s Apple Fritters with Ice Cream a better than good, gluten-free dessert. And don’t forget the extra sweet topper of a piece of really good chocolate. Just for that extra gooey factor.

  • ’Tis the season for saving time by holiday gift + grocery shopping to check it all off your list at once. #ad I paired my annual batch of homemade Irish cream with all the makings for a Christmas/New Years morning coffee in bed basket with items I found while grocery shopping at @krogerco @mysmithsgrocery . Whipping up gift baskets with a personal touch makes present giving way less stressful for you and extra special for them.

  • Why go same-same when you could go ho-ho-holiday and create a festive and creative Christmas themed appetizer?!? I made this antipasto Christmas wreath for a holiday party 4 years ago and was reminded of it when I saw @delallofoods Antipasti Holiday Wreath contest where (3) lucky winners will receive $200 worth of DeLallo product. Since I partner with them on recipes here and on the blog I prob can't win but still tagging @delallofoods #DeLalloEats & #contest just in case I can! Contest ends Dec. 17 so be like me and go back to the Xmas time machine or make a new antipasto wreath for your weekend party and enter too. More info at @delallofoods #ad
  • Here's the easiest way to add a twist to serving salad + antipasti to your party people—give it to them served up on a platter. Half appetizer, half first course, it's one complete dish where everyone can dig in and fend for that last artichoke heart or blue cheese stuffed olive for themselves. Link in bio, just search "antipasto".
  • Literally punch drunk in love. Bubbly champagne, pom juice, OJ and a Grand Marnier floater with holiday flave DIY frozen ice cubes met and married to become the party favorite. Can I get a yes I'll have another, please fill up my cup? And for all the non-boozey party people, it can easily be made non-alcoholic too.

  • It’s a proven fact that everyone at the party loves a cheese board. It’s the centerpiece of nibbles and bites and small talk to break the party ice. But when you add a little heat to make a bubbly, oozey brie cheese dip, the party vibe definitely ratchets up a notch. This one's topped with cranberries, pecans, fig jam and thyme and IT'S SO DANG EASY! Recipe link in my profile https://www.foodiecrush.com/easy-baked-brie-recipe/
