Do not put it in a smoothie or juice. I love kale—raw, sautéed, in soups—but the juice tastes awful. I agree that kale is an easy ingredient to use.

Tried it last weekend and was a big hit

I just made an amazing pizza with kale. I bought a pizza crust, laid down a layer of provolone cheese, really thinly sliced potatoes (I pre-cooked them for a minute in the microwave), some mild Italian sausage, thinly sliced red onion and kale. It was super yummy.

Recipe here (I added the sausage, which wasn't in the original): https://www.womansday.com/food-recipes/food-drinks/recipes/a12199/potato-red-onion-kale-pizza-recipe-wdy1212/

This thread almost seems like, "What do I do with some potatoes?" I mean, there's literally a thousand things... it's not like eggplant.

I used to feed it to my guinea pig when I was a kid. RIP Benny. How he loved his kale!

Definitely soup. Just finished a dinner of ham and bean soup with big handfuls of chopped kale. Even my kids ate it.

De-vein it and make Italian Wedding soup. I did this last night and it was great. Serve with parmesan and crusty bread.

My kids love sauteed kale. I start it in a little olive oil with garlic, salt, and pepper. Then, I add some chicken broth and cover it. This steams it a bit. Every so often, I stir it. I cook it until it is very tender.

Pot with water and ham hock. Once it has reduced some strain water off, drizzle with apple cider vinegar.

We had a big bag to use up and cooked it with some spicy chicken sausage, a couple diced sweet potatoes, and some harissa and ate it as tacos. I look forward to leftovers with a runny egg on top.

Creamed kale! Cream and Parmesan make kale taste great. Cooked kale shrinks, too, so your big bag will be gone immediately.

Add olive oil. It needs to be slippery so you can slide it off your plate and into the garbage.
