“Bottomless Glass” Sangria

Kale Salad, Nutrient RICH

“I could eat this salad for every meal!”. That’s what my husband told me after having it for breakfast. Lacinato kale, also called Tuscan or dinosaur kale, is delicate, tender, and packs a lot of nutrients in one delicious dish.

Lumpia

Served as an appetizer, this deliciousness is REALLY a “you can’t eat just one” food. It is a labor of foodie love but worth the effort if you have the time to make them. My family preferred to make them as a group for girl bonding time!
