Marinated Kale Salad, with Kathe

Marinated Kale Salad

Recently had this at a friends house for the first time and just loved it.

You will need
3 Tbsp.Lemon juice
2 Tbsp. Olive oil
1 Tbsp. sugar
1 Tbsp. salt.
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper2
16 Oz. chopped kale greens
2 Cups grape tomatoes
1/2 cup red onion chopped.

Combine and refrigerate for 20 min or up to one hour before serving.

Top with 1 cup shaved Parmesan Cheese
(Do not care for the grated in a box.)
 
8 slices cooked bacon, crumbled.

Depending on how large the kale leaves are I just use the outside curly part for salad and cook the rest of the leaf.

Enjoy

Go here for more things to like at Kathe's
 

Kathe with an E

Lemon pie with graham cracker crust.

For some reason, which I realize as human nature, since I was diagnosed with Tye 2 diabetes I still crave sweet things, which is have to ration myself.

So I am constantly  on the look out for things to make so that they will fit my diet plan.

I am allowed some sugar occasionally.


Found this
recipe
1 graham cracker crust.

One can frozen lemonade

One can Eagle Brand condensed milk, I was able to find fat tree.

Will look for low fat cool whip next time.

Pour all of these in a mixing bowl and mix until blended well.

Pour into graham cracker crust.

 Cover with plastic cover that comes with the pie crust.
Let set about 6 hours and it is delicious.

Almost as good as my mom's Lemon Meringue Pie.

Kathe with an E, yard art

Do you love yard art?

I have to admit I have seen some yards where there is just a little too much.

Found the Armillary globe at an antique sale one year.

I was tempted to paint it but the birds have almost done that.

Love this little cherub covered with algae right now.

My favorite yard art made by grands playing on the lawn.

A neighbor's yard.


How do you feel about yard art.

The Party for the day

 The AC is turned off and the weather is ideal.

Although it is predicted to again return to high temps gotta love while it is nice.

The Lantana is a plant I have not used for several years.

But I did use it this year and it has given us days of beauty.

 Lovely on the patio

A chipper bouquet for the kitchen window

A nice pattern for my next canvas.

When looking up info about this flower it said to cut it back about now and it will bloom until it gets very cold and it there is no sunshine.

Sounds like me

I don't like it much either when it gets cold and there is no sunshine. LOL

So lets make hay while the sun shines.

Go here for more beautiful photos and stories from Kathe's party.
