<\/span><\/p>\n I’m just a girl who <\/span>taught herself to cook<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n Long story short, my journey with cooking began in my 20’s when I moved to Raleigh, NC, and used food as a way to make friends<\/strong>.<\/p>\n It’s not sad!<\/p>\n And, in case you’re wondering, it worked<\/strong>.<\/p>\n I tested recipes<\/a> and invited neighbors over to eat. I don’t know a better way to get to know people than by sharing a meal and a bottle of wine (or two).<\/p>\n And in a world where very little is predictable, I found that cooking was something that I could control<\/strong>.<\/p>\n And something I was good at.<\/p>\n Because I am good at following instructions.<\/p>\n Yep, there it is. That is my talent.<\/p>\n Just kidding.<\/p>\n You and I both know that there are a lot of bad recipes out there<\/strong>.<\/p>\n And there is an art to choosing a recipe<\/strong> and identifying ingredients that will play nicely together.<\/p>\n So here’s the secret I found when teaching myself how to cook well: use ingredients that taste amazing on their own<\/strong>.<\/p>\n It sounds simple because it is.<\/p>\n Since learning this I’ve tested countless recipes<\/a> and spent more time in the kitchen than anywhere else.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Montserrat|||on|||||” text_text_color=”#5b5b5b” text_font_size=”36px” text_orientation=”center” text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”24px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” border_color_all=”#b5b5b5″ border_width_top=”1px” border_width_bottom=”1px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n About Frosted Kale<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Montserrat||||||||” text_text_color=”#5b5b5b” text_font_size=”17px” text_line_height=”1.1em” link_font=”Montserrat|700|||||||” link_text_color=”#01966c” link_font_size=”17px” header_2_font=”Montserrat|500|||on|||#000000|” header_2_text_color=”#000000″ header_2_font_size=”28px” header_3_text_color=”#5b5b5b” header_3_font_size=”17px” header_3_line_height=”1.1em” module_alignment=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Well, I liken my diet to eating kale with frosting on it. Yah, I know, not the best analogy but stay with me.<\/p>\n Simply put, I add a little indulgence<\/strong> (be it butter, salt, bacon, etc) into an otherwise healthy dish, and vice versa.<\/p>\n I like to sneak veggies into almost everything<\/strong>, a trick I learned from my mom that’s stuck with me.<\/p>\n Over time I began calling my approach to eating\u00a0Indulgently Healthy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n For me, everything in moderation<\/strong> (including moderation, per Oscar Wilde) is the most balanced approach to daily life.<\/p>\n I take each day one at a time and look at the whole picture<\/strong> when determining what to eat throughout the day (i.e. total protein, fat, carbs, sugar, etc)<\/p>\n I don’t judge myself for the occasionally imbalanced day, I just move on<\/strong> and start fresh<\/strong> the next morning.<\/p>\n With Frosted Kale, I aim to share my indulgently healthy lifestyle with you<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Here I share recipes I love<\/a><\/strong>, both my own and those from others that I’ve tested and loved.<\/p>\n The recipes on this site don’t require any fancy equipment or techniques<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n The photos are taken with an iPhone and the food pictured is consumed moments later.<\/p>\n Frosted Kale is all about real, approachable, healthy dishes for you to enjoy in your home.<\/strong><\/p>\n Thanks so much for being here!
