Here's my favorite recipe for it... http://www.tuscanrecipes.com/recipes/olive-garden-zuppa-toscana.html A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

Ga Girl	Posted - Jul 11 2008 : 5:56:51 PM That does sound good where did you find the recipe for the saute ? karen Create in me a pure heart,O God and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Psalms 51:10 http://farmgirlingastyle.blogspot.com/
graciegreeneyes	Posted - Jul 11 2008 : 4:20:36 PM Karen, Funny thing, I just bought some kale at the farmers market and, never having used it before, had to research some recipes. You can quick saute it and serve it with parmesan and tortellini, I also found a recipe that uses it as a calzone filling - sounds yummy Amy Grace Farmgirl #224 "use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without"

Montrose Girl	Posted - Jul 10 2008 : 06:39:20 AM I use it with stir-fried veggies. Just cut it up and mix it in with all the others. Even hust serving it as a side dish, like spinach is good, steamed. Best Growing

Aunt Jenny	Posted - Jul 09 2008 : 8:13:48 PM Stir fry with garlic and bacon..yum!!! I love it shredded and added to salad too, or steamed with other veggies. I wish I had planted kale this year...but didn't .....sigh......

LunaTheFarmLady	Posted - Jul 09 2008 : 8:00:48 PM Yum! Fresh Kale is great sauteed in olive oil with lots of garlic and a little onion. It wilts down like spinach. Take out the tough stems first but leave the softer ones. They will soften up too. Actually you can do this with all variety of greens. Mixed Greens is really good too. bok choy is my favorite, also curly mustard. Love greens and so good for you. full of vitalizing minerals.
