Kale Salad Time-Always!
The beautiful thing about Kale is that you can eat it all year long because it grows all year long!
It just keeps on giving! Hence the name King of Vegetables!
I just harvested some kale and I made myself a delicious scrumptious salad that I will share with you💚
My kale has been rinsed and drained from the water and ready to get the salad started.
But just a little. Now toss and enjoy!!
Now that’s one way of making a kale salad. You can use all kind of varieties on your kale, you can be as creative as you want. As long as you start off with massaging the kale with olive oil and a little bit of sea salt then you can do whatever your taste buds desire.
Sometimes I just add proteins such as cubes of chicken breast with some chia & flax seeds and an avocado!
Hope that helps. Remember: Love your kale, she’s always there for you!

Seeds to Seedlings
We planted seeds with the youth and the families in the Drop In and we started with sunflower seeds, broad beans, and bush beans. We had only sea soil on hand and we’re not sure if that was a good soil since it was so heavy. It took the seeds only a week and our seeds began to sprout beautifully. Five days later they grew 6-8 taller!! Look at them now! So tall they are definitely ready to be transplanted!

Yes Chef Love
The participants cooked a Mexican themed rice bowl with chicken, rice, Pico de Gallo, guacamole and sour cream! Carrot muffins for dessert. A joy to see new participants coming together from all walks of life.
They creatively utilized rescued vegetables donated from our local partner including food from our food bank pantry. The energy in the kitchen was high while prepping meals for our 30 seniors. We deliver to their homes with the help of our wonderful volunteers.
I got to say I wish I was in the kitchen with them cooking, it looked like a lot of fun! And, it tasted delicious, nothing like a home cooked meal! I can’t wait to see the smiles on their faces when i knock on their door.
As I dropped off to a few seniors living right next door, one of them said to me in such a cheerful way ” boy oh boy am I hungry” and the other said sternly, “you tell those youth that I appreciate them!”
Well it certainly pays off, the seniors felt the love and we feel good.
Well… its time to clean up!
Until next time.
Im ready to deliver to the folks next door!

Friendship Gathering
April 14th was our first and last gathering since the pandemic. We used to meet once a month on this occasion. We have contributed a small amount for the event. Some volunteer to buy the necessary groceries the day before and we have good cooks to volunteer in the kitchen. Also some help with the cleaning afterwards. Everybody helps to have a delicious lunch and a nice chat. But this was stopped because of COVID 19 and we do have a large sum left. So on the day we decided to have takes out instead as we do have enough money to spend on food for all. Though it will be our last gathering I wish our friendship are forever. Talking about friendship, sorry to have sad news about the passing of an old friend, a very nice, caring, knowledgeable and wonderful lady Betty Murray. She will be deeply missed. Our condolences to her family.
