Cider Braised Kale with Sweet Cherries

I found this recipe for Cider Braised Kale with Sweet Cherries and it piqued my interest. I tend to put Kale in everything now, from soup to spaghetti sauce, but if we are going to have kale as a "side" I tend to be unoriginal and saute with garlic, salt and pepper. I haven't made it yet, but we have lots of beautiful kale from our winter CSA, so it will be on our plates at some point this week. Enjoy!

Find Out What Produce has the Most Pesticides

Thought I would share a couple great websites:

This is the Environmental  Working Group's ranking of produce regarding pesticides. Remember that of the 70,000 chemicasl that are out there only 10,000 are regulated. The average fruit has at least 8 different chemicals on it and there has been no testing how those chemical interact with each other. You are the experiment.
