  1. I love your kale salad that i am going to make this on Memorial Day. Your recipes are the absolute best that I can even make it at home like cakes which i do not like the cakes from the stores and at cake shops to much cream and unnecessary ingredients; right? Is it okay if i make the kale salad on Memorial Day?

  2. I am going to make the kale salad tonight, and I am going to skip the candied pepitas,but I am going to make the kale salad and dressing is that okay with you?
