I bought some kale yesterday so I can weigh in on some kale chips at least! Maybe one of these weeks I will host…

I haven’t had lotus root yet. Previously I have let my husband cook it and eat it. But this time I am going for it.

I will be sure to report on the kale chips…I found some at the store yesterday. If we like it we may have to grow some this fall!

Happy cooking to you too!

Never tried lotus root either. Book of Yum is a great place to find things like that. Sea is an adventurous cook.

Sounds like you’ve got a busy week of cooking ahead of you. Sounds good, though. I’m going to try the kale chips this week.

You don’t have to follow the theme for the gf menu swap. Of course if you host, you can choose the theme. ;)

Ah your menu sounds mouth-wateringly fantastic! Asian flavors are hands-down my favorites and for a long time were the only cuisines I cooked. (They are the most easily vegan and GF!) I have a great district here for getting all those treats, which reminds me I haven’t been for a while and need to stock up on some staples!

I love, love, love lotus root. There’s something about it, so crisp and crunchy and so beautiful to look at it.

As far as kale chips go… I have been wanting to make them for a long time, but I recently had some from a new vegan “fast food” restaurant and thought they were terrible. So I’ve lost a considerable amount of enthusiasm for trying to make them at home.

Have a wonderful week of cooking!
