When cooking kale – yes,  you will be after you read our upcoming recipes – tear the stem away from the leaves.  Then tear the large leaves up into small pieces.  Removing stems from kale takes the bitterness out of this powerful vegetable.  Kale is loaded with phytonutrients which build strong immune systems.  Kids will eat it when cooked in a soup and is pureed.  That recipe you will be posted on our website later.  

The quick easy way to cook kale is to saute crushed garlic and chopped onions in olive oil.  Then add the torn pieces of kale and lightly stir fry –  add sea salt.  Stir it into pasta or rice – just a little will go a long way so go easy on the first serving.  Throw in some leftover cooked beef or chicken or turkey. Grate cheese on top or even melt it into this dish.  Cheese makes everything more appealing.  Be brave and try this! 

Remember, you have to have a positive attitude and eat it yourself to invoke a positive response from your kids!

… for the health of your family,
