Contaminated veggies? Bad olive oil? Too much of a good thing in an unaccustomed body? Completely unrelated and just coincidental? Not inclined to try again.Elfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01827436807468320435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21924162.post-8465897567840450222012-03-19T06:15:57.302-07:002012-03-19T06:15:57.302-07:00In burritos last night!

Put it in scrambled egges, mash into mashed potatoes or sweet potatoes or squash. Throw it into smoothies, or into your burritos or anywhere you'd put spinach like spaghetti sauce.

But I do think the kale helps them recover faster from the biking and running so we can fit in more agility.Elaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02734583197185810124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21924162.post-30860792179289685652012-03-16T23:48:55.292-07:002012-03-16T23:48:55.292-07:00if you chop and steam it, it's not bitter. t...if you chop and steam it, it's not bitter. toss with a little oil, vinegar, tamari,garlic, maybe some parmesan cheese, a sprinkle of grated beets......yum!<br /><br />my legs are sinewy and old.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21924162.post-37066171669867416902012-03-16T15:15:55.420-07:002012-03-16T15:15:55.420-07:00not sure I'm prepared to go that far - even fo...not sure I'm prepared to go that far - even for agility - although if I can grow it I'd probably be convinced ... should look into that!andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08911146116540091798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21924162.post-14112213450792845202012-03-16T11:46:06.193-07:002012-03-16T11:46:06.193-07:00We are big fans of kale around here.

Much to their crunching delight. My legs may not be fast and sinewy, but Piper is fast and Taz is sinewy, so I guess it works OK.Lynn Ungarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12674803547032895797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21924162.post-10778249031305737842012-03-16T11:29:22.974-07:002012-03-16T11:29:22.974-07:00When I had organic box delivery I'd end up wit...When I had organic box delivery I'd end up with a frig full of kale, chard, turnip greens, celery, etc. Out of desperation, I put everything in a big pot & boiled until tender - then blended, seasoned and added some milk - it made a really yummy "green soup." Your blog has inspired me to try it again - and also make those kale "chips"...just love chips :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21924162.post-50849246749817415992012-03-16T07:09:41.853-07:002012-03-16T07:09:41.853-07:00i, too, eat kale in the spring. it's a wake u...i, too, eat kale in the spring. it's a wake up call to my body to turn back the clock. i started eating it when i lived at 8800' and it was the only thing that was easy to grow up there. i stir fry it with onions, carrots, shitakes, and brown rice. very cleansing. VERY cleansing, if you know what i mean. if you want an extra boost add a teensy bit of umeboshi plum paste after cooking. my legs are not sinewy. i am not fast. but kale gives me hope. now i have to prove, once again, that i am not a robot.<br />valpigAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21924162.post-40749291352759174002012-03-16T06:41:13.429-07:002012-03-16T06:41:13.429-07:00Are your legs sinewy and fast?Are your legs sinewy and fast?team small doghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02980770631350927665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21924162.post-14645323115140723002012-03-16T06:35:15.377-07:002012-03-16T06:35:15.377-07:00I've actually been eating a lot of kale this w...I've actually been eating a lot of kale this winter as well as chard and spinach. I chop mine up into little pieces and fry it in olive oil with onions and mushrooms to hide the flavor of it and it's pretty good. The sweetness of the onions hides the bitter taste. I also shred a little cheese over it. I usually have it along with some scrambled or fried eggs for protein. I'm not a very good cook but it's one of the few things I can make.Elaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02734583197185810124noreply@blogger.com
