Kale and Spinach Juice

salad with the spotted lettuce and some things that we in the house.

I just wanted to share some photos from these beautiful greens we recieved as a gift from some very special people. The top image is of kale, spinach, and a spotted lettuce wich went into making the 2nd image. Courtney & Landon live in Pine Mountain GA. and we went out to celebrate Landon's birthday this past Sunday. (Oh, on a side note let me thank Kim for taking on the phones that day.) They have been growing their own veggies and herbs for some time now and know when to start their lettuce beds. ;)
Since ours isn't even close to being ready to eat we came home like rockstars arms full of these delicious gems. We have been enjoying our daily salads and juices all week.
Next on the menu.... Baked kale chips ;)
There is always something wonderful about eating greens grown locally and buy wonderful people. I suggest that everyone try to grow some greens this summer and see just how sweet it is.

Take a look back at how easy it was while living in a loft in downtown Atlanta. Click HERE
