I slipped in a secret ingredient in my muffins this week.  Guess what it is? Kale! I know what you must be thinking… but really, most people love carrot cake and  zucchini bread…and these are sweet treats made with vegetables.  So, I say, give kale a chance! I didn’t go crazy with the kale, just […]
